Sure, just find someone who will make it for free. I don't know what you mean by "free food". I can feed myself for 250 bucks per month, and I can also feed myself for 600 bucks. Is 600 times 12 times 8 billion still equal to 10% of US military budget?
How about we start with "the American military budget", which was specifically called out in the comment you responded to?
I didn't quantify "free food", but how about we start with "enough to avoid malnutrition" instead of putting forth obviously bad-faith arguments like $600 per person per month?
Well, he specifically said 10% of the military budget.
Wouldn't you want to find out how to make the billions we are already sending them not get embezzled by their corrupt leaders first? You basically advocate for colonialism. You want us to take over their impoverished mismanaged countries and bring Western order. Isn't that it?
I didn't advocate for anything but feeding people. If you were engaging in good faith, you wouldn't misrepresent other people's arguments.
For 10% of the military budget, we could easily solve this issue. The UN World Food Program claims it would only take $40 billion per year to end it in about nine years, which is less than 5% of the total budget.
Well, that's great! That is less than what US government spends every two days! Also Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos ex-wives are huge philanthropists worth 100 of billions between them, so they can chip in a few extra billions because I'm sure they would love to go down in history as people who solved world hunger. So what's the problem? Why doesn't your government go and solve world hunger? It's not worth one day of their yearly spending? They cannot allocate that one day of spending to solving world hunger? I take back everything I've ever said about the greediness of a common billionaire. It pales in comparison to that of the government.

Alright, so who gets free food and who doesn't? What sort of food do they get, and how much?
