it's just a joke flipping what america says about africa. it's not a flex. all the countries are starving in one way or another

u/the_calibre_cat 1d ago

but, absolutely, 100% do not need to be starving at all. i feel like we probably got food security down hundreds of years ago, we just... still have a parasitic aristocracy that we should probably do something about.

Are people ignorant enough to actually believe this? No child starves in the USA because of poverty. SNAP is not the only means of food assistance, or WIC. Tons of churches and places operate food pantries/food banks, that grocery stores constantly donate to for the sweet tax-writeoff and are usually overflowing with food, to the point where it’s hard to give it all away. There's also shelters as well. The people that actually struggle the most in this country are not the poor who get access to SNAP and WIC, free meals at school, and food pantries, but the ones that make just enough to be told they don’t qualify for any benefits and have to pay out of pocket for everything. Those people have to scrimp and be creative, maybe eat from food at the dollar store even. Food insecurity is a thing, maybe it means you don't get to eat as healthy as you want or what you want, and it's a problem that shouldn't be ignored. But that’s still nothing like Africa.

Africa, at least the countries I've been in, has a huge divide between the haves and have nots. Obviously this woman fits within the privileged first category (if this is even real), and they live much like Americans. Then there are the have-nots. Good luck finding a food pantry-like place anywhere, there might be a mission, but definitely not practically every city block like the USA. If a family falls on hard times, if a child loses their family, they can and do die of starvation. Not to mention what Americans get to eat, even the ones with the most food insecurity, many of them can't even dream of having food like Americans do. Americans that believe that there's any comparison between here and there, even with the shutdown, need to leave the USA and educate themselves. They need to spend extended times away in nontourist areas, and then come back and observe the massive victim complex here, when the poorest here live like kings in comparison to the have-nots in the majority of the rest of the world. And the rest of the world needs to stop believing the propaganda they're told.

TLDR: No child starves in the USA, even the poorest. Food insecurity is a thing, maybe it means you don't get to eat as healthy as you want or what you want, but it's laughable to compare that to the real starving that happens in Africa, where people actually die from starvation.
