There is so much poverty around the world. What is one thing that you can do to help reduce it?
One way I am working to reduce poverty is by abstaining from eating meat. 1/3 or more of the world's grain is going to feed the cows that we slaughter for meat. It takes 16 lbs of grain to make 1 lb of edible meat for human consumption. If the world reduced its meat eating habits, then it would free up more grain to feed the hungry world.

well i dont think that we will ever get rid of poverty when there are people like paris hilton and others fliting their money around...
also, it seems that the rich just keep on getting richer and the poor, poorer, and that the rich dont care about the poor at all.

sad isn't it? That the world cares more about whether Paris Hilton is serving her time in prison or at home than the impoverished, orphaned children with AIDS dying around the world!
