    1. I refer to #3, why don’t they just do it then?

    2. I didn’t say per capita. You love that oil money don’t you?

    3. Yes, the US is purposely starving the world.

    You’re lying to yourself and everyone else. Stop being a bad person.

      The USA starves the world because desperate and hungry people are easier to exploit. Starving people and preventing people from getting accessible food serves their corporate interest because they can keep rising food prices.

      Yes, the US is purposely starving the world.

      Unironically yes. While the US is particularly fond of bombs and drones, another favourite weapon of theirs is starving the countries of people who have the audacity to disagree with them. See: Cuba*, DPRK. As a bonus, they even get to blame the countries they are starving for the lack of food.

      Not even only other countries, the US is happy to do it to their own people because the hungry are easier to exploit. The US has an absolute staggering amount of food waste, it is the largest component of most US landfills. They’d sooner throw away food before giving it to the needy. In many cases, they will punish you for giving it to the needy (see the charitable organizations repeatedly fined in Texas for feeding the homeless).

      *Incidentally this exact same map can be used for countries voting to end the US sanctions of Cuba.
