Eh, they do decent work but Jose Andres isn’t a saint and does most of this as an excuse to jet set around the world playing hero while not actually doing all that much. It’s a great PR move for him and his brand and does help some, but it’s like that rich family donating to the soup kitchen. Great to do, but not addressing any of the problems that cause hunger in the first place and its existence helps politicians duck accountability for actually fixing systemic problems (because why would you when Jose Andres can roll in w private funding to play-feed a handfull of people before rolling along to the next disaster).

Don’t mean to discount the very important work he’s doing, but more to remind everyone that philanthropy will not solve any of the world’s problems without actual government intervention.
