    World Hunger and Famine statistics

    Hi,

    I'm looking for some statistics I can use in a message on world hunger. I have all the standard stats but here's what I am looking for:

    I think it would be a good visual to have sample meal sizes (pile of rice, etc) to describe what people eat in the world. Nearly 1b people would have an empty plate, 1.3b live on $1/day (some size of food on a plate), 3b live on $2/day (some size of food on a plate), etc. We want to have samples up front so people get a visual of the hunger problem. Does anyone have a pointer to resources that have this information?

    Thanks and God Bless,

    Craig
