Has anyone gone to one of those "Hunger Dinners" where everyone pays the same amount to get in, however, you draw a poker chip to see whether you get to eat a full dinner, just vegetables, or a cup of rice? For every 50 chips, there was one full steak dinner, 2 vegetable dinners, and the rest were rice - symbolizing what the earth's population eats like. And even at that, it should be one out of a thousand (or whatever).

I saw this exercise as the same sort of eye-opener.
