All while half the world's population can't even afford to spend $5 a day
on food, nor do they have much choice in what they can buy. It is possible
to survive on $5 of food a day, but it isn't very pleasant. Staples can be
purchased for that amount, but the various sauces and seasonings that make
them pleasurable to eat cost quite a bit. Of course I shouldn't be
complaining, I heard even starving Ethernopian refugees had complained about
the soybean/maize gruel they were fed at the camps; perfectly nutritious,
it provided 2000 calories plus all essential amino acids, but while I like
soy the thought of having to eat it exclusively is kind of gross.
