1. You have to be selective about which 'starving' people you want to feed, because we cannot afford to feed all of them presently looking for aid.

2. Definition of "starving" is a point of discussion. Is a shopping cart filled with coke and junkfood part of filling the need? Feeding someone "starving" is such a motherhood phrase. We do not have starving in Canada. Ther is no one who does not have access to food. UNLESS there is abuse.

3.Cuba was on a bean buying mission in Canada, because they were worried their families did not have enough to eat. They wanted cheap cheap cheap beans. The question is, why didn't they produce the food? No disaster. No storm. They just didn't grow it. Huh?

4.Does food aid get to the starving, anyhow? That's my beef. About the same as your donation to charity.......the job-creator-collectors are slurping up the money.

I'm not going to restart the cuba arguement.

You are right on the charitys though.
Anyone can be a charity and collect a six figure income out of the donations.

Why charity law reform hasnt come to pass is beyond me
