Reply #80: UNESCO?

It's a number from some UN subgroup.

Note that it's not food and clean water for every human being on earth. It's food and clean water for those who do not have it. There is little point in sending $2.25 apiece to each Norwegian. Or Swede. Or Brit. Or German. Or almost anyone in Europe. Or Canadian. Or the vast majority of Americans. Or, surprisingly, most of the 1.2 or so billion Chinese. So if all those people don't need the $2.25, then you take their per capita $2.25, and spend it on the people who don't have food and clean water.

Excuse me if this sounds snarky, but, gosh! I have a pretty fair grasp of the number of people on earth, and the ability to divide 13 billion by that number.
