Default Improve your vocab, and feed the hungry.....

My mother-in-law found this website in a little blurb in a women's magazine, and brought it to my attention. You go to the website, and define words, for every word you get correct the U.N. World Food Program donates 20 grains of rice to feed the hungry. I've just been on the site, if it is legit it's seems a very worthy cause. Why it isn't front page, and or lead story in every newspaper and news broadcast, I can't understand. I encourage everyone to check it out, and let me know your thoughts. FreeRice

If they donated 20 grains of rice for every word i defined wrong, i would have solved world hunger.

if we don't go to the site, does the rice just sit there?
