Check out the latest WeFeedback video flying high above Times Square in New York. We tailored it just a bit for the thousands if not millions of people who will look up and see it over the next few weeks—many of whom will undoubtedly be holding hotdogs.
Food for thought: how many kids do you think we could feed with every hotdog in Times Square?
This just in: United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has officially fed back.
This footage from a UN forum in Korea shows the man in action, changing lives with his favorite food. But the question remains: what is the Secretary General’s favorite food?
As millions of Americans fire up their ovens for the ritual Thanksgiving feast, we thought we’d run a few numbers through the ol’ WeFeedback Calculator just to put things in perspective.
The US National Turkey Federation estimates that approximately 45 million turkeys are eaten each year at Thanksgiving.
Estimates for the average cost of a Thanksgiving turkey vary widely, but for the sake of argument, lets go with this figure from an article in How Stuff Works which puts the cost of a 16lb bird at US $19.09. (Like many other foods, Thanksgiving turkeys have jumped in price in recent years)
According to this admittedly rough calculation, that means Americans will spend around $859 million on turkey this Thanksgiving.
The WeFeedback calculator says that the same amount of money would provide 3.4 billion meals to the world’s hungry. That’s more than three meals for every hungry person on Earth.
So why not add a few places at your dinner table this Thanksgiving and throw down for an extra turkey? Just one 16 pounder would feed 76 hungry kids.
Happy Thanksgiving America!
This is the world’s most expensive chocolate pudding. Inspired by the Fabergé Eggs of Imperial Russia, it packs several of the globe’s most renowned chocolates, in addition to cavier, gold shavings and a large diamond.
According to this video, it comes it at over $35,000, which is more than what 95% of the Earth’s population earns in a year.
But the magic question for us is: how many kids would it feed? According to the WeFeedback Calculator, the world’s most expensive chocolate pudding would feed 140,000 children for an entire day.
A little scene from a food market in Jakarta, Indonesia where you’ll find some of the hottest chili peppers known to man.
One of the photographers, Andries Sibarani, says that Indonesians eat chili with every meal but that’s it particularly popular in a dish called ”telor balado”, best described as an outrageously spicy vegetable omlette.
Our question to you is, what’s the spiciest thing you’ve ever eaten and how many kids would if feed if you plugged it into the Feedback Calculator?

It’s almost painful to browse through the “Food” tag on Tumblr and behold the delights that foodies like this one unleash upon the world.
Wonderful as they look, the new and improved Feedback Calculator would make short work of them. We estimate that any one of these zesty Asian dishes could feed between 40 and 80 kids.
Dinner @ north park, Makati Ave.
This is a majestic plate of Moroccan-inspired oysters, prepared in four different ways by @buenasbolinas, an imaginative and playful WeFeedbacker we met on Twitter.
We are honoured and humbled to be on the receiving end of these oysters, which have provided enough meals to feed over 50 kids.
Many thanks to buenas for sharing the pictures. We’ll be adding them to our WeFeedback Family Album of Food, a greatest-hits collection of delights that WeFeedbackers around the world have turned into meals for hungry kids.
If you’ve got a creation you’d like to share, just feed it back and tweet us a picture at @WeFeedback. You can also post it on Facebook and tag us.
This is a plate of all-Organic soup with soba noodles, mushrooms, spring onions, egg, and red chile in a soy and sesame broth. The picture comes courtesy of Susan Tracey (@AmbrosiaCaritas). Any guesses as to how many kids this could feed?
It’s the end of National Curry Week and the beginning of World Food Week! To mark the occasion we’re asking everyone to do something pretty simple:
Go eat something wonderful, something that makes you happy to be alive. Feed it back. Then go take a picture and blog it, tweet it to us, post it on Facebook and tag us or just plain old email it to us.
We’ll take all the photos and make a WeFeedback album that we can show our incredulous grandchildren when we tell them about the time we beat world hunger by sharing our favorite foods.
We’ll kick the party off ourselves with the above picture of a plate of chicken curry that the editor of this very blog whipped up Saturday night to celebrate the end of National Curry Week.
Let’s see what you’ve got: show us your food!
