I'd rather give someone food.

Just wondering if you are aware of the fact that African food producers are somewhat shafted because of how EU dumps cheap export subsidied food into the area and they can't compete with the price. Giving food isn't that simple and easy solution and can lead you being in a cycle where you have to keep giving a fish since people there grow dependent on it and those who know how to fish have thrown their pole in the corner to grow moss since they can't get their catch sold to the populace when people go to you and your charity to get their fish instead (milk is more apt analogy, with the cheap European milk powder pretty much dominating the market in Africa). African goverments have been pretty angry at EU for ####ing up their market with cheap subsidied products. Makes me wonder why we are paying for that.
