Not that it's our responsibility or anything, but America could help feed these people if we'd just stop running good food through our gas tanks.

Oh, but then the stuff would be delivered and 95% would be sold on the black market to enrichen their country's corrupt leadership... never mind.

We don't run food through gas tanks, but thanks for playing. And if we stopped burning ethanol, corn production would fall, a consequence of burning petroleum fuels to grow the corn in the first place.

What nonsensical drivel.

We’ve had mountains and mountains of surplus feed steps for more than 50 years, although we try, we can’t possibly burn it all.

You have to be very careful with food aid that it doesn’t destroy what business there is- US dumping of free aide rice in Haiti wiped out Haitian farmers who could not compete with “free.” Same thing occurred in Vietnam and helped turn farmers against us.
It was a case of subsidizing our farmers at the expense of another country’s, disguised as “goodwill.”
