#4 United Nations food agency admitted yesterday in a report that said that a third of all such aid, worth $600 million, is wasted.

Damn. Think of how many 5 star lunches and dinners that could buy?
A shame. A crying shame...

I think our food aid is a sunk cost (leaving out transportation costs). We buy grain from farmers under ag subsidy programs and store them. Without food aid programs, the granaries would keep expanding over time.
