And it only fixes a bit the symptoms, poverty by giving away food, not the sickness which is that not all people can afford to buy the food which isn't only about food being too expensive but people not having jobs or not making enough money from the work they have. So lots of other issues behind poverty.

To be honest, we could go about it on an on. I totally agree with you. Giving a fish instead of a fishing rod is just short-term solution, if we can call it 'a solution' at all.

I know that change would not be immediate but I think it surely would be better than forcing people into something they are reluctant to do.

I do appreciate your idealist sentiment behind education and all, where truth is - all knowledge, thanks to internet, is accessible to everybody. The videos from slaughterhouses, statistics, thousand of docu-series about not only bestiality of industrial food processing but about diets, making ourselves healthy and fit and all. I really don't believe that people are so ignorant or short-sighted. I think people nowadays are plain hypocrites and self-centred narcissist. They know, but just to choose not to care. I am not saying, there are no good, reasonable people, that have wellbeing others, animals, environment and such at heart. I only challenge the argument that people do not realise the consequences of their actions and choices.
I really hope I am mistaken on this one, but don't think I am.

This is so crazy! Rainforests and all forests are giver of life but instead of inventing a way to combine old traditions of living of and with the forest and combining it with modern world we burn it and cultivate food for animals which we eat. And like in so many cases, it is the big companies that determine the prices with which smaller farmers have no way of surviving. Totally nuts.

If you go down this rabbit hole - gets even worse, for instance: the avocados or the kopi luwak coffee. Virtually everything that at some point become extremely popular food(like soy bean years back, when vegetarian diets became a big thing) - get taken over by huge companies - it actually stop being what it once was - good quality food, that is quite expensive, but great quality. So now we have those poor civet cats in tiny cages, fed with nothing but coffee beans, even though they should eat plenty other things. Again - cats that lives in the wild on trees - in cages...
Avocado leave huge carbon foot print, but not only that

I just simply not understand, why we cannot just buying local food? Our digestive systems would be surely thankful :)

I have no idea. ...... can pick it up!" (sorry, really long quote!)

Exactly my point... I would say that we are on the same page on this one 🤣

I am sorry too. Feel really powerless about it, not gonna lie. I really appreciate your time though, with all the links and stuff.

I hope you are well, and see you next time, eh?
