By playing this game! Every question you get right, you donate 10 grains of rice to starving people, so far I donated 110 grains of rice. Come on Basil! Let's feed a village in Africa!

If I get all the questions wrong, do they take rice away?

So if they already have this rice then why do I have to answer questions? Why can't they just give them the rice with out me having to answer questions...

I have the feeling that for every question you anwser 10 grains are deposited worth maybe? 0.01 cents? Now these sponsers probally pay more than that. So as usually with these kinds of scams, it works like this. You >> Do barelly anything Sponsor >> pays money to company Company >> takes 99% of the money for itself Hungry people >> get a bit of food This creates an illusion where: you are a person who actual gives a **** about hungry people by doing something close to nothing instead of making an actual effort. The company is just a person in between who transfers the money, but actually takes most of it. Sponsor companies are politicaly correct. Hungry people are less hungry.

[/quote] @Oth3r, as well. http://www.freerice.com/faq.html Does FreeRice make any money from doing this? FreeRice does not make any money from this. FreeRice is a website committed to the cause of ending hunger around the world. It is run entirely for free and at no profit. All money (100%) raised by the site goes to the UN World Food Programme to help feed the hungry. Sponsors make all payments to the UN World Food Programme directly. If FreeRice has the rice to give, why not give it all away right now? FreeRice is not sitting on a pile of rice.you are earning it 10 grains at a time. Here is how it works. When you play the game, sponsor banners appear on the bottom of your screen. The money generated by these banners is then used to buy the rice. So by playing, you generate the money that pays for the rice donated to hungry people.

@guys who think it's fair No it isn't, you think just because they say it's true, it's actually true? You never heard of the fact that 99% of the charities are profit organizations?

[quote] tiganior1 : I'll be needing a source, sir. [/quote] What you think there's an article that says: Charities are scams! Well there isn't, if you had paid attention over the years you'd find out that scandals happened inside charity organisations. Most of them are a bunch of fakers. Like brangelina. Still livin' large but telling other people that they should give more money to charity. While he/she/it still drives around in 5 different cars to 5 different mansions.
