  • Again, I’m happy that worked for you but it is not true for everyone and no claim like “sugar bad, fat good” is ever going to help everyone get more healthy. I myself lost weight by increasing fiber and protein (so many lentils and beans) and decreasing unhealthy snacks. But take my pasta and bread and I will feel unhappy and unmotivated and not move a muscle all day.















  • They are not responsible per se, although you could claim rich countries have a responsibility towards poorer countries to help out. However, the way they stopped funding these projects, abruptly and without warning, means that other funders can’t step in in time and charities organizing this help have no way to find solutions before people die. It is unnecessarily harmful.

    As a sidenote, many issues charities are trying to help with are caused by climate change (for which richer countries are responsible in larger part) or past colonialism/exploitation by these richer countries, so they do have a responsibility.

    This is all general stuff and not specific to this example…
