I have to agree with this.

I would much rather give to a charity whereby I knew they were doing something useful and semi-permanent like putting in a well, or developing agriculture.

I don't think throwing food at people solves anything. They need contraception information, education and skills.

I said "to help starving people", not "throw food at people". I'm assuming the money goes towards projects to reduce both short and long-term starvatin.

Also, see the two other replies to the comment.

I'd spend the money on politics, not directly on the poor. I took your question to include that option.

[andrewducker]

That was my intention. Some people seem to have read it as "hand cash directly to the poor." which was not my intention at all.
