Numbers... not the cheesy NBC drama
OK, to answer the question Bob posed... How many people could we feed with the 350 billion spent in Iraq? (or even the 330 billion quoted by Rahm Emmanuel on NPR this morning).
Considering a meal in the developing world costs 19 Euro cents (according to the BBC), the current exchange rate (10/16/06), dollars to euros, is 1.2518 dollars per Euro.
Ergo: 279,597,379,773.13 Euros per 350 billion dollars or 263,620,386,643.23 per 330 billion.
If we take the lesser number that's 1,387,475,719,174 meals (the larger number provides 1,471,565,156,700 meals) there are roughly 6 billion people on earth - if everyone were hungry that would provide somewhere between 231 and 245 meals for everyone.
If we take the number the BBC gives (850 million) that are hungry each night and fed only them, the money would provide between 1632 and 1731 meals for everyone - almost a year and a half of 3 meals a day for 850 million people at minimum.
