The banquet separated people by
random drawing to be fed certain
dinners. The dinners were meant to
dramatize the unequal distribution
of food around the world. They
had 15 percent of people dining on
a gourmet meal of meat and vegeta
bles while using utensils and sitting
at a table. Another 30 percent ate a
meal of rice and beans sitting in chairs
only and the remaining 55 percent
ate meals of only rice and water, sit
ting on the floor using only a banana
leaf as a plate.
The program’s guest entertain
ment was Columbia-based singer
Elaine Townshend.
Amanda Goldson, an active mem
ber of Oxfam Carolina, also volun
teered in the Hunger Relay this past
week in addition to the banquet.
"When I’m faced with the real
ity that of one in six people live on
$1 a day, I feel compelled to do what
ever I can," Goldson said about her
contributions to the event.
Last year, the Hunger Banquet
raised about $2,000. This year more
than 1,300 people are signed up for
the Day of Fast, beating last year’s
record of 1,200, Goldson said.
Stacy Deery, a first-year gradu
ate student, said the Hunger Banquet
was an experience she won’t soon
forget.
"I was one of the one’s who
had to eat the rice," she said. "And,
believe me, it really opened my eyes.
It’s really a great experience."
The United States has the high
est per capita income in the world,
yet millions are living in hazardous
conditions. The U.S. also ranks in
the lowest percentage of access in
terms of health car®, hunger and
homelessness, according to the
Oxfam Web site.
"In the end it’s not hunger that
kills; it’s apathy towards it." Wall
said about the hunger issues in Amer
ica.
Hall also urged people to think
about the week before Thanksgiv
ing, The NaUonal Hunger and Home
lessness Awareness Week, and re
flect upon the hunger in the world
before sitting down to Thanksgiving
dinner.
"While we sit down at the
Thanksgiving table next week, near
ly a billion other human families will
be unable to provide themselves a
meal such as ours." Hail said,
"Thanksgiving should be as much
about feeding the hungry and elim
inating poverty as about eating our
fill and counting our blessings."
