Why if feed the children has been around for more than twenty years?

Question

and millions are contributing to the charity over all those years one would think these kids are living like royalty by now?

Answer 1

Feed the Children, run by Larry Jones Ministries, is rated F by Charity Watch. Only 18% of its cash budget goes to program services--feeding children.

"Donors should be cautious not to read too much into a charity’s name—Feed the Children’s distribution of “assorted food,” “produce,” and “beverages” accounts for only 14% of the total distributed. By not disclosing more specifically what types of in-kind food or drink are distributed, there is no way of knowing how much of it is non-nutritious or empty-calorie foods, such as soda pop and chips (Frito Lay is a “corporate partner” of FC)."

Feed the Children also has circulated forged audits, is accused of bribery and of covering up bribery, and a host of other unethical practices for any business, charitable or not.
