This would require them to give up control (or perceived control at least from their POV) which is something almost anyone in that or other arenas is just unable to do. The entire basis of getting into a position of power is to be powerful, hoping that they will give away that power is fruitless.
what he is likely pointing out is that with those two compared the plausibility of the number becomes unbelievable, point in fact almost numerically impossible.
On the topic of one carrot per child, look up how food production actually works nowadays, the problem is NOT the gross amount of food produced but shipping problems. At a greater level many of the issues are the economic structuring, many nations with starving populations are exporters of foodstuffs. Further on the line of logic of 'just give them food' no amount of effort along that line can really be successful due to simple Malthusian mathematics, its physically impossible to make enough food to solve the problem in the long term without changing the fundamental situation; this is most clearly done (by my research) by education and micro-loan programs (with a distant 3rd being debt forgiveness). If fertility as well as the ability to generate income the hunger problem solves itself. Further comments can be sent to westb3@gmail.com
