So today is Day 1 of the Share Humanity... Overcome Hunger Challenge. We were asked to live off of beans and rice for 5 days and to donate any money that we would have spent on food to an organization whose goal is to stop world hunger.
It has been pretty interesting so far. I have seen many twitters about lack of preparation for the beans...haha i did the same thing and overlooked the directions. Day 1 was basically all rice until dinner. This challenge definitely makes you think. I don't for one second think that because I am just eating beans and rice for 5 days that I know how it feels to live like 50% of the worlds population. But it opens eyes to the reality that the majority of people do not have options. On a Sunday afternoon, they don't get to choose between Miguel's Jr. or Jimmy's... or Mi Tortilla or Chipotle. Food selection is definitely a luxury.
Just some things Ive been thinking about today... and its only day 1 :(
Big ups to everyone else taking the challenge. I would LOVE to hear how you are doing, so feel free to share.
