All we hear is that so many people are starving now in Africa. Yet the population of Africa has increased 6 fold since WW II while the populations of the US and Europe have hardly doubled in the same time frame.
So please tell me how their food shortage it is my problem when the UN is predicting the populations of these nations will be doubling again by the years listed below?
Congo 2038
Burundi 2046
Zambia 2035
Angola 2037
I am sorry to be the cold realist here, but they are not starving as bad as you think if they are reproducing so fast as to expand the population like that.
40 years of western nation food aid and we are still being told people are starving, yet the African population continues to explode.
Are we only exasperating the eventual collapse of their entire existence by sending massive food aid now? When will the day come when the oil and gas supplied fertilizers run out in the US and elsewhere and we can no long feed these people? No one knows for sure, but many say SOON. Right now Africa has over a billion people. Will we be shutting off the food to 3 billion people by the time the oil runs out for the fertilizer?
The harsh reality brings the tough question. Should we stop sending food aid now and strictly focus on trying to teach them self sustainable farming? Should we make them feed themselves and let the population naturally stabilize? Even if it means people dying by the millions.
We are at the point where we must ask, do we act now when changes can be done humanely to wean them off food aid or do we deal with it later when the food just runs out?
Tragically, Haiti is a lost cause for many reasons.
