Really not true at all. At least in the US, there aren’t a lot of starving people down the street for you to feed.
If you work on fixing “the problem” of starving people, you can spend endless hours designing a “fix”, organizing other people, “consciousness raising”, fund raising, and organizing logistics without ever feeding a single person a single meal.

Oh no. You’ll gain power and connections with a group of people bent on power and connections. That’s not a waste.
