The US already provides half the worlds food assistance. We can't afford any more. If they want to buy food, it will just cost more. There is enough food, just not enough growers. Growers need to be protected like the US growers are; the governments need to subsidize their farmers. US aid isn't needed to do this, it's not that expensive.
Biofuels and gas aren't the reasons for the price run up.
We have already given the WFP enough money. Most of the aid money goes to employees and pensions.
It is global food price crisis. The US and UN can't run the worlds' commodity exchanges. The governments need to subsidize or pay the price. We can't afford free food forever.
