My point exactly
bottom line is they don't want to do anything without some kind of expectation of ROI
Which is why they need to be compelled by law.
Some countries have Good Samaritan laws that protects people who honestly want to do their best to help someone from being penalized for it.
Other countries have "duty to act" laws penalizing those who choose not to help in a clear emergency.
Other countries have BOTH. That's what's needed when people are starving, corporate profits are booming and more food is wasted than eaten.

The implication is that these surplus food could be given to other countries. But that means local farmers are out-competed (same reason why giving clothes to poor countries are discouraged because it out-competes local clothes manufacturers). Hence, when I said world hunger is solved, but it is not because of
free market. But blaming free market alone is even an oversimplification; there is a more practical solution which I am sure will get a bigger pushback from majority of the world.Also: this is food. It rots. It's simply not possible to move surplus food to other countries that easily, even if it was a good idea (which it isnt)

wrote on last edited by [email protected]The EU did give surplus food to Africa. But then again, it caused the local farmers to complain because of competition.
