This article spends a lot of time blaming things that cannot be changed. There is only one thing that causes hunger; not enough food. It doesn't matter if America has so much food that millions suffer from obesity. Somewhere else, where it costs too much to send food from America, there are people with not enough food, therefore they are hungry.
And as we should all know, organisms under stress, breed. Therefore, anywhere that people are hungry, the population will grow faster than places where there is too much food. No matter how much food you give to these poor people, they will grow their population to once again blow the limit of the capacity of their corner of the world to supple them with enough food.
Whose fault is that? Part of the blaim lies with enlightened rich countries who sent so much health care to these deprived areas that their death rate could no longer maintain any kind of equilibrium. And some of the fault is with rich countries who sent luxuries that these poor people could not afford. And some of the fault is elsewhere and neither you nor I will be able to figure it out.
Best thing to do is to simply ignore this stuff. You cannot help and history shows that you are likely to just make things worse. If you really want to help then focus on yourself, your life and your community. Build a sustainable local lifestyle for yourself and show the poor deprived starving people that it can be done.
