A vote for Albert is a vote for Albert

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 79 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well he's got my vote. Food is more than some of these guys in the poll have done.

I heard eggs will be cheaper any day now.

Personally, I wouldn't want to try to save world hunger.

How about fighting kids with diabetes?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Do the kids have hammers too?

[–] youCanCallMeDragon@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

No, they have diabetes.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We already solved world hunger but due to complex reasons ~~free market~~, there are still starving people.

[–] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

How are those surprlus "solving world hunger"?

There is nothing really saying that in the wikipedia page. Just because a country has surplus at one point doesn't mean it will fill the belly of someone at the other side of the world.

Sorry but this seems like a massive simplification.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Microw@piefed.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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)

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The EU did give surplus food to Africa. But then again, it caused the local farmers to complain because of competition.

He's going to eat all the food

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 18 points 2 days ago (3 children)

the amount of food thrown in the trash by one single grocery store every day is absolutely obscene. multiply that by thousands of stores and restaurants, and it's tons upon tons of food wasted. there's not even an easy solution. companies that have tried to donate ended up getting sued by the people they donated to

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

companies that have tried to donate ended up getting sued by the people they donated to

That's a false narrative that companies are using as an excuse.

As long as they're acting in good faith and with full transparency, Good Samaritan laws make them immune to lawsuits and not liable for any ill effects.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

that makes it even worse. bottom line is they don't want to do anything without some kind of expectation of ROI

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

that makes it even worse

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.

A reciprocal relationship with a pig farm sounds like it could work. I know that Vegas casinos do that, courtesy of Mike Rowe.

I almost started writing a comment about how its actually a hard to solve problem but then i read your whole comment...

Food is the only way.
