I can't be more explicit Angr. I don't think that any food charity is an actual solution to the problems they purport to solve. There is ample evidence that they have the opposite effect at scale from local to global...even though I really do wish they worked and spent significant time and resources establishing one and working for one. In the parlance of motivated nonprofits, I'm a deconvert.
I, long ago, stopped believing that they were even a local or incendental good that was zeroed out in sum. The minute you're throwing soup cans you are actively working -not- to solve the problem. Not working, in a flawed and inefficient way, to solve the problem. In my defense, I had not realized that, yet, then, lol.
I think that they're a thing we do because it makes us feel better, not because they're good or do good. They do not. Objectively, they do not, though we're apparently willing to give religious versions unearned credibility on account of them.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
