  • Oh, for sure transporting food across the world is a disastrously inefficient way to solve it.

    I may be wrong about this, but I dont think there are many (if any) food-poor countries that are that way because of a lack of local fertile land.

    I don’t think waste and excess are really the issue, but rather misallocation of resources, like you mentioned, raising cattle (or growing coffee/cocoa) over primary foods for profit over basic needs.

    Something-something-communism, I suppose.


  • Logistically a nightmare like having a “last chance” area where homeless and poor people can just take it before it gets thrown in the dumpster? Like, literally just allowing a space?

    We put more effort into denying homeless people a place to exist than it would take to enable them to exist.

    I know when I say “enable” people will immediately conflate that to “encourage”, but we’ve tried for decades to be as ruthless and unkind to homeless people and the numbers haven’t exactly plummeted.
