One thing i took away from this experience is that it was surprisingly not as hard as i thought and here is why:

1. The first two days i was pretty hungry but by the third day i was not hungry really at all. I think this was because my stomach size had adjusted to the smaller portions I was eating. (Yea crazy our stomachs can do that). 
2. When i did desperately want food, i was surprised to find out that it was not because my body did not have enough to eat it was because i wanted the taste of foods for example lasagna (Meg assured me that it really did not taste that good). 
3. Water. I was told a few years ago (by Meg) that a lot of the time you feel hungry you are actually thirsty. I have to say i now firmly believe it. Though i have to point out that many people don't have much access to extra water let alone clean water.
4. Lets face it i don't live in a developing country. So what are the differences that made eating under 1.50 a day easier for me then them; The fact that I was not exerting the long hours of manual labor to earn my 1.50 so i did not need as many calories as they would, I am not feeding a whole family off 1.50, and they also need to use there 1.50 for other expenses.   

I want to Thank everyone for supporting me while i Lived Below the Line whether it was financially, morally, or joining me (Kevin). You are all amazing and i am so lucky. I also would like to say that my goal of raising $200 for Global Poverty Project

It was a 100% Success. I would also like to thank Chris Gray for seeing a need in the world and doing something about it. You are a all super star! 


The end of extreme poverty can be achieved. The World Bank found the percentage of people living in extreme poverty has dropped from approx 52% in 1982 to 25% today. - LBL
