Answer 1

ALL famines are man made.  They are starving because of their governments.  Even some one with your IQ could google this.

Answer 2

We already give enough.

Lets teach those countries that rely

heavily on US aide to become self-reliant.

We don't have to be everyones big brother...

Answer 3

The great thing about "we in the west" is that everyone can make up their own mind.  If each individual believes he/she should eat less and donate more food to "poorer countries", cool, do as you see fit.  But, to try and guilt "the west" into adopting any individual concept of charity, is doomed to fail.

Rather that donating food (giving a fish), wouldn't it be better to help others to become self reliant (teach to fish), if indeed you feel the need to assist...
