>>ask this question from yourself. I will going to save them
in the form of money and see the max what I can do ...
I saw those pictures 40+ years ago. There is really not a thing we can do to help them because the dictators in Africa don't want us to help them. Every time we (USA) send food over there the dictators steal most of it.
>>Think how much money that I can save if I change my bad food
habit ?
Don't bother because it won't help them. If you want to save money, that's find, but do it for the right reason.

Maybe the US shouldn't be responsible for feeding people in Africa. After all, Americans pay taxes to the US government, not Africans.

i admire your complete lack of social responsibility.
it must be nice to be able to so neatly view the world in stark black and white terms ..... babies born on one side of a line starve to death. babies born on the other get food.
i wonder though.... will you be first in line at the dole when your family runs out of food in an economic crisis?

Actually, us sending them food is part of the problem - we should send them the seeds and supplies to support themselves but the giant agri-businesses want us to buy their products here and waste money on shipping the food to them when it would be about 1,000 times more efficient to buy the food there supporting their agriculture helping them to become self-sufficient

it also doesnt help that their nations have national debts dating back to the 1960s that they can just barely pay the interest on much less hit the principal.
so much of their GDP goes to paying the world banks' interest, they cant ever get out of poverty long enough to oust the military juntas and tribal dictators.

If that were the case then the solution would be easy -- get the world banks to forgive the debt, mush like USA did WWII debut by many nations.
don't talk like this , and I'm outside the US , so for me there are no US politics. actually I'm hating US for some reasons ! , so clearly I'm not talking their side.
Oh I see now -- you hate USA for everything but our money and computers. Well, that certainly is an eye-opener.

well... it IS the case, and it's apparantly NOT easy.
for one thing it's not one nation forgiving the debt of another.... it's multinational banking organizations who have to answer to powerful investors across the globe.
perhaps you have an inside angle?

The banking system is nearly collapsed now anyway, so they might as well just forgive the debt.
