Yeah I do help locally, I'm lucky enough that I have the means and ability to help others. But that still doesn't change the fact that people can't just cope and hope their way out of food insecurity. Plain and simple, every single one of us needs food, our bodies and minds will go through great lengths driving us to find food, we literally cannot turn off the neural pathways that tell us we're hungry and that we need to eat. You can't "positive thinking" your way put of an empty stomach while your body breaks itself down for energy.
