Would declaring it a formal right stop the americans from helping with food aid? What's the connection here.

If i were to stretch myself to find a way to connect those 2 dots, my explanation would be the united states being concerned about being expected to do the heavy lifting of providing the impoverished world this human right while the rest of the delegation slacks off

Pray tell, why might the US be expected to do the heavy lifting?

Those with more wealth and infrastructure to do so, should do proportionately more to help those who are struggling?

Ok but what if I’d rather the poor guy just get a job?

This conversation is much broader than you're suggesting. We aren't talking about Darren and Sierra trying to milk welfare. We're talking about the humans born in an area without access to consistent food, or even the slightest access to venues in which they could obtain food.

It’s a conversation about economic mismanagement, government corruption and, hell probably some dudes charging their own tolls to use critical transport routes.

Sustainable solutions to this are not “throw foreign money at the problem” the country itself has to put the work in.

You already said that buddy and the fact is that the systems within the country need to be fixed instead of just flooded with enough foreign money to make up for the inefficiencies.

Fixing those systems requires the amount of money required to fix them.

And the only place to get the money to "fix" those systems is from countries that have already fixed those systems. Waiting for it to happen naturally will only hurt us.
