    That doesn't explain why the adults don't look like they're starving, but, the children do.

    It's a ploy, people, put a bunch of skinny kids on tv, then, beg for money.

    A lot of Americans donate to those charities, a lot corporations donate, how much is actually going to the cause?...... not much, from the look of it, considering how many years I've been seeing those commercials and, how many starving children there still are.
    Some of those areas have birth rates per woman of 6 or even more. Possibly partly beccuase of high child mortality but undoubtedly cultural factors are at play as well. Right now the children who are saved re headed to havig half a dozen kids they can't feed. That cycle has to be broken in order for anything to help. But I think the best approach is to teach them how to grow food

    Starvation is a problem in nations that lack the rule of law. It is a true man-made problem, unlike other prominent issues.

    Yes, but some places bad government and infastructure conspires with burned out fields and too many people to cause the problem

    Sustainable farming methods are the answer.

    Yes. If we can firmly establish them here then we can teach others.

    It doesn't require a master's degree to figure out.

    The men of the region aren't very good or very smart. We're they both they would develop means of feeding more people. And those additional people would have meals.

    Correct. It has little to nothing to do with below normal amounts of rainfall.

    To feed everybody, immediately, we need to, at the moment, seeing as how it is cool at night, there will be dew on the plants and grass. this dew can be used to make ice, and ice is filling. all the nourishment you really need is from water, so we will see people live at least a little.

    Of course, the best way to make ice without a fridge is to get a whole lot of dew together and then to dig a hole and place the water inside some leaves, as this will stop it from drying up, and, then they will find that it gets cooler the further away from the 'surface' it is. on the outside of the leaves, they can wrap it in tin foil. this is a non conductor... actually, you can just wrap a whole lot of water inside the tin foil! this will keep the heat out, and the water in, and eventually it will turn to ice.
    What about if you are a double amputee? How will you be able to dig a hole to put in the leaves and tin foil?

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.
