The article is actually decently well written good-faith satire meant to address how poverty and hunger are inherent to capitalism as a system. The title was just too bold lol

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.
