Im not sure this is morally right, Im all for companies doing their bit but KFC fattens up black america while appearing to want to feed thin Africa.

Why cant companies like this just donate money quietly rather than having a song and dance about being all goody goody?

Because they are companies and this is part of their social responsibility plan, a.k.a advertising & marketing?

Makes fatties feel better about killing themselves

Ive no sympathy for staving africans.

The last thing you should be doing when starving is knocking out kids everywhere.

Its their own fault and we should not help them until they learn to help themselves. By using contraception.

Welcome to the wonderful world of public relations.

FYI, some very interesting articles on how it came about the modern industry - not at all pleasant.

One thing you might need to know is that not all Africans have access to contraception.

 

[SKYNHEDD]

The access doesnt seem to matter. Its their religious ignorance meaning they refuse to use it.

I know, you think with it being so simple we would have sorted this out by now

 

[nutsnut]

And when their education come from the Roman Catholic schools & Churches contraception is hardly promoted.

advertising & marketing?

yep, they don't really give a ****

I mean, Its very similar to a post someone on Facebook made last week - "i passed a homeless man the other day, i didnt want to make him feel awkward but i bought him a sandwich, packet of crisps and drinks, i still felt guilty so I gave him £5".

Its great that people do things for others but when you only appear to be altruistic then it surely negates the point of doing it.

That is the most pathetically simplistic and un-empathetic statement ever. I sincerely hope you are simple, otherwise you are simply repellent.

Really hope you're just a troll at this point.

well it could be worse they could sell red meat which requires more resources per KG to produce

There are huge problems regarding the availibility of contraception and even then its use has a stigma against it.

In many cases if you don't have a large family, it can be very difficult to make money.

A drought is going to be horrific in Africa (where poverty is common) regardless of how many mouths there are to feed.

Try to think about the box a little more when deciding to distribute sympathy to those that are dying daily.

 

[SKYNHEDD]

I am completely sincere.

You are starving... water is scarce. There is a Drought. What do you do?

Of course, you have 5 children, so you can watch them starve too. NICE ONE.

Its digustingly selfish of these people to even consider becoming pregnant and bringing children into a world of suffering and death.

From what I can gather, most of them actively refuse the contraception being given out by the aid workers.

In that instance, how can I be expected to be sympathetic, when they brought it upon themselves?

I assume you live in a rich contry with free health care, pension and other support services available for free no matter how little you do or how stupid you may be...

it is luck alone that has put you in the position of wealth and them in their position of poverty...

if they dont have kids who will look after them in their old age?
if they dont have lots of kids they may end up with none since a lot die young (of disease)
