There are millions of people starving all over the world. So what? Do you honestly think that other countries really give a shit? Governments are too caught up in their own affairs to do anything more than toss a bundle of cash at the starving countries--and then what would that country do with the cash? It'd probably go to the only ones who are NOT suffering and in power. The ones who really need it won't get it. If anyone is absolutely serious about stopping world hunger/suffering, the first thing they'd want to do is take over the country and rule it their way. These starving countries lay idle because they have no real economic contributions to make--first they have to figure out how to rule themselves.
In the meantime the world powers are striving just to keep on top of the world themselves. They make half-ass attempts to "push humanity forward" with small cures for illnesses and space programs but anything done by the government is just to get good press so that they stay in power.
I don't understand why people keep saying we shouldn't eat so much when in fact it doesn't make a single difference to people on the other side of the globe. Those people don't need food or money--they need to change the way they exist, starting with the people ruling them.
