Another interesting blog:
Two Social Justice teachers have decided to start eating on one dollar a day.
And here’s an article about them:
ENCINITAS — “Most of the world eats on less than a dollar a day,†Christopher Greenslate said, spearing single grains of Spanish rice on his fork. “And we thought, why couldn’t we do the same?â€
Next to him, Kerri Leonard nodded. “It didn’t start as a big statement — it began as a way to save money,†she said. After a particularly expensive month this summer, they agreed that the magnitude of their food expenditures was ridiculous. Eventually the question arrived: Why not eat on $1 a day? So they did. Starting Sept. 1 and ending Sept. 30, they limited themselves to a $1 a day allowance for food.
