Probably for the best. Also from the UN today:

Ha, was just about to post the same quote!

But I interpreted it quite differently. I think he’s correctly pointing to the cause of the problem being that wealthier people benefit from hunger, and therefore have little incentive to solve it.

A little bit of searching indicates he’s an expert on world hunger and has written at least two books about it how to solve the issue. Here’s part of a synopsis of one of them:

“ Hunger grows out of widespread indifference and exploitation. The goal of ending hunger has been achieved in many places, including places where people have little money. In stable, strong communities, where people care about one another’s well-being, no one goes hungry. That caring is strengthened when people work and play together. This insight tells us the direction we need to take to move toward a world without hunger. The problem of global hunger will be solved when we learn to live together well locally.”

I’m pretty into that, and maybe Bitcoin could help ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hard to see how the United Nations thought it was a good idea to post this article

i don’t know much about their history, but i’m really surprised to see them publish this article on their own website

Wait, the last paragraph reveals that it cynical clickbait. He's holding a mirror at the rich and powerful people who don't do enough to end world hunger.

They’ve deleted the article from their site.
