However even though I understand that people in the countries who will be recieving the donations are in need of them I feel charity starts at home and there are many people living below the poverty line in Australia myself and any one else on government benefits or low wages especially not to mention those that dont have access to benefits.

How did you come to those prices next to your ingredients? like, 20c for 25g of peanut butter. Can I buy a whole tub of butter, say 500g, for $1.95, and then if I were to only use 25g, can I say I've only spent approximately 10c (after doing the maths)?

Also good idea's if you are a bit low on funds one week! One thing I do not understand is the relationship between income and spending power. $2 AUD has very little spending power in Australia, but if you had $2 AUD in a poorer country you would be able to buy more food. I totally agree with the cause though, and the discrepancies between quality of life in developing and developed nations is appalling. This is great.

Salt and pepper is a bit expensive and a luxury (i am doing the live below the line challenge) i simply cannot afford into the budget. That potato omelette looks delicious though!

Here in the my country, people living below the poverty line do have to live on two dollars or much less and that's for all expenses. Cost of living is proportionately cheaper tho (a dollar can get you a kilo of veg or a few pcs of fish). Thanks for writing this article, it's wonderful and I think maybe awareness is the first step to ending world hunger.
