Let’s be real. You don’t end hunger via charity. Charity programs, when they function properly, bring relief. They don’t end the problem. Relief is not the same as elimination. If it’s hunger you wish to end, in America or anywhere else, then what you need are the triumph of reason, freedom and capitalism. I say freedom and capitalism because without these things, there’s no incentive or self-responsibility required on the part of would-be producers and innovators to bring desperately needed food (and other goods) to market. Also, without freedom and capitalism, there are no jobs, people have no income, and the companies producing food and goods have no way to survive and make a profit. I say “reason” because without the exercise of human thought, there will be no innovation, no concept of how to bring goods to market, and no rational people to work in the marketplace to ensure these goods are made available. If you wake up in the morning and think of nobody but the suffering and the hungry, you ought to embrace rationality and unhampered capitalism with all the passion that our popes, presidents, priests and Hollywood celebrities exhibit in condemning them.
