To add, solving world hunger is more than just give everyone food. The USA had been supplying cheap/food to countries but this started causing the farmers in those countries to stop growing food because they could not compete with the free food. So either the US is a monster because they are undercutting the local market or they are a monster because they are throwing away food when people are going hungry.

Reducing subsidies in developed countries and instead paying to upgrade farming in developing countries would be one way. So sure, giving food away is not a perfect solution other than for short term crises, but it's still a problem that is entirely solvable if there was will to do so.
