Do We Feed the Poor?

Abstract: A 5 page paper discussing whether the rich countries of the world have a moral obligation to feed the poor ones. 'Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime' applies, but there seem to be few who believe it. The views of Peter Singer and Garrett Hardin are compared in this paper, but both views are only in absolute terms. Neither author appears to be willing to consider alternatives that are any more cooperative than the passage of sentence in the Roman Coliseum. For them, it is either thumbs up or thumbs down on the hungry of the world, while actual solution is much more likely through the extended hand that also can grasp a shovel. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
