I was not, however, able to find the source. When I did a search for this on Google, I found 10 pages of blogs that had posted this, but I would really like to know the full story. Who did the research? How was this set up? Who traveled to help the families track their food intake and then gather and display the food? If anyone knows, please leave a comment.<br /><br />Thanks Malina for sending this to me. :)<br /><br />______________<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">What is
