Each guest will draw a ticket randomly assigning them to the high-, middle-, or low-income tier as determined by World Development Report statistics, and is served a corresponding meal. The 15 percent in the high-income tier are served a sumptuous gourmet meal. The 25 percent in the middle-income tier eat a simple meal of rice and beans.
=0D=0A=The 60 percent in the low-income tier wait in line for small portions of rice and water Few leave a Hunger Dinner with full stomachs, but all leave filled with a greater understanding of the problems of global hunger and poverty and the motivation to do something about it.
