1$ 8 meals?
 

How come?

Because they buy in massive quantities?

$1 = 8 meals = 12 cents per meal.

Rice for example is around $1 per pound when purchased in bulk.

1lb of rice is about 450 grams, a serving of rice is about 50 grams. So there are 9 servings per pound of rice.

That means each serving is a cost of 11 cents.

Bam, there you go. And that was off the top of my head real quick. I'm sure their system is way more complicated.

Sly was posting how he could eat for 20$/week. It was pretty cheap, and it comes to 1$ per meal. And that is 8 times cheaper. Even considering buying in huge bulk it still is very cheap. Unless they count only rice as a "meal" :)
Anyway I hope its not one of those charities where only 5% of the money goes to the cause :)

5% would be an optomistic guess.
