The Cost of Conquering World Hunger

Solving the World's major problems isn't always a costly, complicated undertaking.

Would you be willing to fork out $50 this year to cut world hunger in half? Put another way, would you pay $50 to do your part to feed millions of men, women and children who are otherwise slowly starving to death?

The OECD – a group of the major industrialized nations – proposed a plan for cutting World Hunger in half by the year 2015.

This plan would cost the average taxpayer in these industrialized countries $50 a year. The question was asked: “If the US were willing to pay their share, would you be willing to pay $50 a year to cut world hunger in half?”

70% said they’d be willing.

Let’s do it! It's as easy as identifying a charity that funds overseas hunger programs and put our money where our mouths are, money that will put food in others’ mouths.
