Whether not something is good…in this example, is being judged by the standard you suggested. Whether it alleviates hunger. Whether it prevents harm.
Not liking my answer is not the same as having not received an answer. I’m sure that we could argue objective ethics till the cows come home- but if we’re granting it or asking for an assessment specifically from that pov…then the answer gives way to any number of the facts I’ve communicated in quite a few posts now. Our reliance on these sorts of projects does not alleviate hunger or prevent harm. It causes hunger, it ensures harm.
One of the best examples of it actually working, is by further impoverishing one group of poor people to help another group. That’s the good outcome, a program full of competent people who want to help people. The rest of the picture goes from that to worse.
