Simply Missional pointed me towards this stunning pictorial comparison of what families eat during a week and how much it costs.

Just think about this, the next time you eat out if you ordered a water instead of a coke, then donated the money, you could effectively double the amount of money a Sudanese family in Chad would have for food for the week.

Any thoughts? Have any of you lived in a third world country for any length of time and care to chime in? Does the difference in how much people spend on food surprise you?

Another reminder from my current favorite web comic ASBO Jesus.

Edit: Andy just pointed out that we’ve already covered this topic! I apologize for any deja vu this might have caused.
