1BillionHungry
The FAO of the United Nations has recently launched a campaign to get people riled up about the one billion stomachs that don't get enough to eat.
If you want to sign the petition (like I did), head on over here and make your voice be heard.
(Caveat: with all its resources, this viral campaign is the least the UN FAO can do to stop the terrible, terrible inequity which is the 21st Century hungry human.)

If everyone who took the trouble to sign it instead ate less meat, I'm sure that would have a much larger impact (and not just on wasted calories, but land use, fuel use, GHGs, water, pollution...)! There are enough calories to go around - and will continue to be - but not if they're fed to livestock which then give us only a fraction of that energy!
