So I've noticed that a lot of people have been posting freerice.com as their website on the f-book, promoting it, etcetera etcetera.
Miss EKF brought this website to my attention a couple of weeks ago and at first I was completely enamored, amazed, and vowed to give thousands of grains of free rice a day.
Until she brought up the point (10 minutes into us both competing for the most grains of rice given) that this organization has all this rice already. It's not like every time you get a word right it supports this organization that can then afford to give out 1000 grains of rice. THEY CAN AFFORD THE RICE. THEY HAVE THE RICE. WHY DON'T THEY GIVE THE HUNGRY PEOPLE RICE NOW? Especially if, on their parent website, they have a twitter-like count of every person dying of hunger every minute.
I constantly wonder about the value of 'awareness' as a way to make change.
