A very sad FYI
More FYI:
I read a report several years ago (from GAO or some similar office) that welfare, food stamps and other Government assistance programs (US) were designed to give everyone in the system a minimum of 2,500 calories a day worth of foodstuffs (if the benefits were used properly). Yet people complained that this was not enough!
2,500 calories would probably keep the average Koran alive for a week, week after week and be a comfortable subsistence level.
