I meant to say "stop" sending them food.... To early in the morning I guess.

"Each day hundreds of mothers flock into the feeding stations set up by the U.N."

"Feeding stations" kinda makes 'em sound like animals. No?

Unfortunately, that's probably a little too accurate an analogy of the problem. There are a lot of places in the world that simply cannot reliably support the populations which inhabit them.

I know we like to think of ourselves as "humane", but every ton of food sent there - however well meaning - just encourages a further increase in population down the road. And with that increased population comes increased suffering. How humane is that?
