    Ok so what happens when you put food that close to going off onto a ship for a few weeks? You’re just shipping rotten food to people.

    The problems of logistics isn’t “a choice” it’s a very real thing.

    Since the advent of GMO, starvation ls largely about political instability and conflicts. It’s hard to get food to warzones. Something to think about before promoting violence as a solution to a problem.

      Yeah famine in Gaza isn’t because of economic forces it’s because of Israel deliberately starving them. There has been enough humanitarian aid available to feed the starving for decades at this point, the sticking point is people with guns getting in the way.

        Do you think people in Africa starve because some evil capitalists decide they want people in Africa to starve? Food can’t get to people when there’s a lot of people with guns shooting at each other.

        When people hate, they will only care about doing violence against their enemies and not care about it causing people to starve. Would you call upon Hamas to put down their weapons to prevent people from starving? If not, that’s choosing to let people starve.

          … but supermarkets are largely on every country… collectively if they feed local that is feeding the world

            Why wouldn’t you just say “supermarkets should donate food to local food banks”?
