Can you draw a circle?
Can you draw a circle? Most of us can. But if you lacked food as a child, you wouldn’t be able to draw one now. You would lack the manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination that makes it possible to draw a picture of something as simple as a ball.

Enlisting ‘foodies’ in the assault on hunger

The food budget challenge
Descriptions of extreme poverty often highlight how little money the poor have to spend each day. We’re told that more than a billion people live on the equivalent of less than one US dollar per day.
