Here in the west, we will store food that we can't sell even though it would be cheaper to send it to feed the starving. Farmers in Canada even destroyed their pigs when they could not sell them at a profit.

Heck if I could I would donate more. But I have to look out for msyelf as well. Make sure I have food and I do not starve.
I grew up with out food to eat most of the time I remember at one point that I was so desperate to eat a rat in one day. I was in a shelter at in the time and many of the Charity are scams but there are some good one. Just check who you giving your money to cause you might be giving to the wrong people.

Alot of those so called aid charities, hit you with aload of bull sometimes. You give them the donations/ money to help out. But you never see for yourself what good your donation does.
Also some charities I have donated to, nice plush offices some of them have, while there is still kids dying off starvation in other countries.
Stopped Donating to them.
