This is perhaps in line with the Food For Thought thread here in that we should all be aware of the extreme poverty that billions experience throughout the world.

You can help feed the world at www.freerice.com by playing a word game.

My best level was 49 and I forget how many grains of rice I donated. It was a lot; it took me a while to get words I could figure out!
