Who Does U.S. Food Aid Benefit?

by Megan Tady, In These Times, USA - Current policies favor giant shipping companies and agribusinesses over the starving populations they are supposed to serve.

Comments (1)

Everything that the US government does these days seems to benefit corporate interests instead of the American people or the people the US purports to serve. We have completely lost our way, it seems to me.

I vote, write my elected officials, telephone, protest, and demonstrate for change. I am certainly not alone. Things, however, are not changing.

If anyone has suggestions for how to make significant changes in our policies and our practice here, please let me know what you are doing.
