I posted about Living below the Line before - could you live for 5 days on just £5 worth of food ?
The Global Dimension team are trying to do that this week, and are blogging their progress,
They are already encountering some of the side issues involved. For example, what are the ethics of selling 500g of pasta for 9p when wheat prices are rising ?
Best of luck to all those people taking part...
If you want to find out how lots of other people are faring, you can also (or course) do a quick Twitter search. This brings up a whole host of tweets which includes:
- details of people who are taking part and what they are eating
- ideas for how to manage the budget
- details of charities that are being supported or are involved in this area
A whole community of people sharing their experience of, for a few days, getting closer to the everyday reality facing millions of people every day of their lives...
