Farming is quite a bit more expensive that what you realize. Besides, this model doesn't even make logical sense. Follow with me... 1) Advertising is only worth it if the people who see your ads can and will buy your goods at a large enough rate to give you the needed ROI on those ads. 2) If people are so poor that they need free food then they won't have the means to make point #1 viable.
Your second point on food. Yes, lots of it gets wasted. There are quite a few areas where we can talk about waste and food cost. The best way to cut transportation costs is to just improve farming in places where food is scarce. This is not an easy task, but a much better long term solution in every way measurable. Ethiopia is the shining example of progress in this area. One of the largest wastes of food in the United States is what slides off of our dinner plates and into the trash. This increases demand, which increases prices, transportation cost of both supply and disposal, increased cost in cooking and prep, etc. We could save billions a year as a society if we cut our waste.
Divorce rates are the fault of the people that are married. Marriage, if the vows are followed, is amazing. Married people live longer and have children with lower crime rates. The answer is for people to actually stick to their covenant and make a marriage work. People need to learn to forgive, extend grace, and act selflessly toward their partners. Marriage is no place for rugged individualism, it is truly a team sport. A family where children grow up with both of their loving parents is the ideal situation. Situations are not always ideal, but at least we have something to strive for.
Under the crowd-funding life section... aren't both of these sections essentially just co-ops? Not that they aren't good ideas but I think they do exist already and without the buzzwords.
