    As we are all thinking about which new music toy we are going to get next please give a thought to the people for whom food is a serious issue. YOU can make a difference.

    A grain of rice is around 30 mg, maybe a little less.

    1000 grains = 1 oz, roughly, equivalent to handful

    It is gonna take a while to load a ton on a truck...

    Keep playing..!!
