So many people believe hunger is a result of lack of food supply. In truth, food production isn’t the problem. Access is.

Numbers and statistics are one thing. Grasping the despair of starvation and limited access is another.

Oxfam is trying to bring hunger home through its hunger banquets. A demonstration of food situations worldwide, some attendees are given heaping amounts of food while others are given handfuls. It's more complex than that, but Oxfam has such a great site about hunger banquets, I don't want to steal their thunder.

What a great idea! Such great lessons to be learned and such great truths to be taught — genius!

Is anyone else as fascinated by these banquets as I am? Have you been to one? Thinking about planning one?

What are your thoughts?
