Give them food and they keep asking for food. Better create the possibilities to grow their food.

> they keep asking for food

Who are “they”? Are you maybe falsely assuming that world hunger is specifically “developing country” hunger?

In the USA, 1 out of 6 people are food insecure (1). I’m also fairly certain that most people in most countries are not aware of how to grow their own food. World hunger is caused by numerous systemic issues, not the lack of farming abilities.

Sure, as long as we don't care about the people starving today. A small price (not for us) to pay, right?
