More Than a Meal—An Eye-Opener

Want to really surprise your cooking club members? Provide a meal that’s sure to stun—a frozen container of cooked rice.

This year I’m intent on widening my world view. And I’m planning to invite my family to join me. According to The ONE Campaign, 12 out of 20 people representing the world’s population sit down to a meal consisting of a small portion of rice. Why not switch things up for a night and experience a mealtime along with the majority of our distant, unmet friends? Make it all the more real by candlelight, on the floor, without cutlery. Or consider lining up to receive rice refugee-style.

You may have heard of the Oxfam Hunger Banquets. This idea is pretty simple. It’s about inviting 20 people to sit down at your table, representing the world's population. Three would get a gourmet meal, five would get rice and beans, and twelve would receive a small portion of rice. If you’d like more information on this practical simulation, check out Oxfam's Fast for a World Harvest.

Consider surprising your exchange group members. Provide them a tin of rice, some information, and some inspiration. Join us as we attempt to expand our world view.


I’m supposed to run a session at our Regional FFA Camp and I need to come up with a good eye opener..something fun they can do that’s easy.

I have found your blog and post really awesome from since morning in many searches. Its really nice sharing that useful and interesting stuff.

After you found a suitable business plan - (they ALL work, but they all won’t work for YOU) - it’s time to put on the blinders. WHY? In a word, ‘Distractions’! One of the biggest causes for spinning wheels and outright failure online is distractions, sometimes called ‘The Shiny Object Syndrome’.

Love it
