I support all programs which help to feed the hungry people, which includes supporting UNICEF, and which supports programs which support farmers in each region so that local jobs are created in each region and self sufficiency for each region.
And always, we can easily feed everyone on earth if we come from a place of abundance, instead of letting people starve as we come from a place of scarcity.
It does not need to be expensive to feed people, just fish and oranges and tortillas and clean safe water, etc. It is easy to stave off starvation. A local Chef, Chef Bruno, feeds pasta to the needy children, pasta is cheap and the children love it. There are many foods which are cheap. We need to be aware of cheap foods with the huge number of refugees that we have around the world right now, and with the corona crisis.
Here is a recipe for cactus with scrambled eggs, it does not need to be expensive to feed the hungry people...
Scrambled Eggs with Cactus
Surprise and delight family members with this unusual brunch recipe of chili-seasoned scrambled eggs with prickly pear cactus pads. Look for nopales (cactus pads or leaves) in the produce section of large supermarkets or specialty food stores.
Ingredients
2 - 3 cactus pads (6 to 8 ounces total) or one 8-ounce can nopalitos (cactus pieces), rinsed and drained; or 2 small zucchini, cut into bite-size strips
1/2 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
1/2 cup chopped red or green sweet pepper
1 tablespoon margarine or butter
8 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash ground black pepper
Flour tortillas, warmed (optional)
Salsa (optional)
Directions
Carefully rinse cactus pads; pat dry. Holding cactus pads with tongs, use a small, sharp knife to carefully trim off eyes around edges and on both sides of pads; discard. Cut cactus pads into thin strips (you should have about 2 cups).
In a large skillet cook cactus with onion and sweet pepper in margarine or butter about 3 minutes or until onion is tender.
In a bowl beat eggs, milk, chili powder, salt, and black pepper with a fork. Pour egg mixture over vegetables in skillet. Cook over medium heat, without stirring, until mixture begins to set on the bottom and around the edge.
Using a spatula or large spoon, lift and fold the partially cooked eggs so the uncooked portion flows underneath. Continue cooking over medium heat about 5 minutes more or until eggs are cooked through, but are still glossy and moist.
Remove from heat. If desired, serve with tortillas and salsa. Makes 6 servings.
From the Test Kitchen
Nopales, the fleshy, oval pads of the prickly pear cactus, are showing up in many supermarkets. Cooked, they're soft but crunchy, with the slipperiness of okra and flavor of green beans. The pads have tiny, sharp thorns that usually are removed at the market. To remove any thorns, carefully hold the pad and scrape with a paring knife. Use the tip of a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler to remove the thorn bases and any blemishes.

http://www.bhg.com/recipe/eggs/scrambled-eggs-with-cactus/The people of the world who are poor and starving can grow and eat cactus, and they can raise chickens for eggs. Cactus will grow anywhere, and cactus does not require very much water.
And in the USA where food is plentiful, we can easily feed everyone, and we even have hunters donating meat for the hungry, etc. As you drive down the state of California you see that the whole state is farming and ranching and growing vineyards, etc. Everyone in California can easily have access to good fresh food, and we need to make sure that the people of the USA have access to Sunkist oranges, etc.
I support every program which feeds hungry people. Starvation is not an option.
Salute,
Tony V.
