    Default UN World Food Program to Help End World Hunger

    Ok Folks,

    Put your knowledge to a good cause...

    for each correct answer, the sponsors of this website donate rice to help end world hunger.

    FreeRice

    i know it sounds Utopian, but hey.. what if it does make a difference?

    and as a side note..

    Grains of rice vary from weight between 20 - 30 milligrams
    so an average rice grain would weight 25 milligrams

    so 1000 grains of rice would equal 25grams

    so it will take 40000 grains of rice to equal 1 kilogram. (2.2 lbs)

    I think it's just easier to move them out of the desert and to where the food is.
