Would it be wrong to assume that food aid to developing(brown) countries is a major reason why these poor as fuck places are booming in population?
In 1984 there were only 434 million sub saharan africans in the world, now there are over a billion. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12266940/#:~:text=Abstract,reach%201.4%20billion%20by%202025.
There is no reason for that population boom to occur other than it being driven by western aid, mainly food+medical aid.

@ToyotaTime TFM talked about this. essentially by subsidizing agriculture you are making it impossible for local farmers to run an agricultural business. which then propagates to inability to move higher on the development index by doing other productive things. so via subsidies africa is being kept down and it is unable to grow because these external funds make it impossible. it's quite evil actually.
That makes sense on the surface but:
TFMs argument is that farmers in Sub Saharan Africa can't make money because of food aid.
But white farmers in Africa are incredibly successful. Farmers in zimbabwe, South Africa and Nigeria have been able to farm and make money perfectly fine(outside of anti white land reforms)
If white people can manage to farm in Africa despite the food aid, there's no reason why blacks can't, OTHER than blacks being incapable of it.
@ToyotaTime also, this is about supporting the entire nation, not just a few towns here and there. but obviously not entire africa is like that. it is a huge continent so it varies. but certainly an argument can be made for both sides - suppressing development via foreign aid but also lack of progress overall through the continent.
@ToyotaTime also we have to consider the fact that most natural resources are owned by foreign companies that i doubt give back too much in taxes and salaries, so it's like the world is stealing everything from africa, not allowing it to move forward. that's it why african nation kicking out the french last year was such a big deal.
@ToyotaTime few, yeah. but nothing nation-wide. and mixing in SA is just really bad argument.
