Well i didnt read the article but it depends on the framing. Is he defending the capitalist status quo? If yes then he can go die of hunger imo. If the article points out that rich people benefit from hunger and that this is in fact bad, then thats cool.
He does directly state the latter.
Here's an archived version of the article, courtesy to [email protected]:

What a self own with the title then. Should have changed it to "The beneficiaries of world hunger"
That'd be a banger title actually. Nice job! The concept of "benefitting from world hunger" is still bizarre enough for a doubletake, but doesn't instantly piss off 99% of potential readers by headline alone lol.
Decided not to stir it, probably

FWIW, the article author also wrote a book called "Freedom from Want: The Human Right to Adequate Food"
Yeah I'm pretty sure the title was a bit of a tragic, click-baity, foot-gun. Lol
