    People aren’t starving because of the food eaten by others. People are starving because of the food that gets thrown away.

      Also not true, people are starving largely due to logistics.

      Moving a lot of food costs a lot of money and when you’re already giving it away for free the cost of transportation is ruinous.

      No farmer wants to let the food they produce rot but none of them can afford to send it where it’s needed most.

      Why don’t those starving people just go do one of those restaurant challenges where your food is free if you can finish it the entire thing?
