Feeding the world causes more starving people

Feeding the hungry poor does not end hunger, but instead expands the quantity of poor and hungry. When is our good intentioned stupidity going to stop paving this freeway to hell?

Band Aid was a British and Irish charity supergroup, founded in 1984 by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia by releasing the record “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”

Fast forward to present day. The cycle not only doesn’t end with this continued foreign aid, the cycle strengthens and expands.

The Ethiopian government has asked the international community for emergency food aid for 6.2 million people.

The request came at a meeting of donors to discuss the impact of a prolonged drought affecting parts of East Africa.

The UN’s World Food Programme says $285m (£173m) will be needed in the next six months. Some aid officials say the numbers of hungry could rise.
