"Im starved to death..." it's sarcasm to us. But to them is literal.

[Hareldones]

Instead of giving them food, why don't you give them the ability to grow food. It will cost more obviously, but I hear that different plants can grow in different soils. A solid ideas would be to teach them how to survey the land for where they can plot the highest yield crops. They go find the place, we give them the materials to do the work and get started. After one season they can just replant.

humans that live in 3rd world countries naturally need to reproduce a lot "because they need a lot of children to do simple tasks like walking to go get water, gather what food they can find and taking care of their elders. its not a simple solution for people to stop reproducing. more than 80% of the world lives at or below the poverty line of 2$ a day. so if your solution is for 80%of the world to just give up on life then you solution is terrible."

This quote answers your question

[Michael Curry]

No, not necessarily, their food supply is cut off by war and lack of infrastructure, not to mention the bad conditions for growing crops and a severe lack of money. There's still going to be a food shortage, less of them won't mean more food to go around, it'll just mean that there's less of them.

it's all about distribution

[FundaiX]

Not so. Its not overpopulation that's the problem, its food distribution. /watch?v=OXrN9HhnCcM&feature=r­elmfu

wow, over 750,000 views with such a technically simple video. A good story and a good cause can go a long way clearly. Thanks for the inspiration. We're after bringing stability to the under served domestically. It's a story we will begin to tell.

[Sander Uylebroeck]

More people die of obesity than starvation. This is an undenyable truth. We should stand up and take action! Steal food from your fellow americans and europeans, to save lives , for a better world!

[airtioteclint]

You can't help those that won't themselves.

[Mettwurstbrot123]

@atheist382 The point is: there is enough food to to feed people in the whole world. If we would collect all the food we waste in Europe and North America and give it to the poor people no one would have to be hungry!

more food you send, more they will ask for
