Feed the World is a goal; Educate the World is a means to that goal

That's not the history behind food aid in Africa .... It has been used as an end in and of itself.

Feeding? Or educating? What's the difference between a goal and an end?

I have the goals of both feeding and educating the world.

Pan; didn't explain myself well. Education has very rarely been part of any aid 'goal' or 'end'. I have assumed that you are not repeating my previous claim but are saying that the two goals go hand in hand? That is what I disagree with. When you feed a population you threaten to artificially inflate that population beyond the environments ability to sustain it. We've done this in other parts of the World (Japan being an excellent example of a country that cannot produce enough food for it's own population) BUT!! They export other commodities with which to buy the extra food that hey require.

To me it's a chicken and egg scenario ..educate first or you will find anation continually playing "catch up" with it's ever burgeoning population.
