sending food to starving people usually doesn't really help, either, since warlords just grab the food and use it to feed their armies and buy support from the starving people... honestly, if an area is prone to famine then the people should just move away and make a life somewhere else. it's kind of what all animals have done since the beginning of life..

Exactly. It's the same reason I don't feel bad every hurricane season when Billy Bob and his sister/wife are on the news every spring because they trailer blew(or floated) away.. Move out of tornado alley/hurricane target instead of rebuilding every year.
