World hunger can seem like an overwhelming problem. But there are actually lots of small steps you can take to make a big difference.

To complete this How-To you will need:

A reputable hunger charity
A little self-sacrifice

Step 1: Pick a good charity

Pick a good charity — meaning one that is run efficiently. Go to www.charitywatch.org for rankings.

Tip: Action Against Hunger gets an A+ from Charity Watch.

Step 2: Make donations automatic

Figure out what you can spare and then make your donations automatic. Many charities allow you to pledge a monthly amount that they deduct from your checking account or post to your credit card.

Step 3: Fast once a month

Research shows that fasting one day a month reduces your risk of heart disease. Why not make it a win-win situation — better your health and donate the money you saved on meals to a hunger charity.

Step 4: Give the gift of food

Make charitable donations to food banks in lieu of birthday gifts, wedding favors, sympathy flowers, and so on — and ask people to do the same for you.

Step 5: Think before you buy

Once a month, stop yourself from making a nonessential purchase and set the money aside for hunger relief. Get your friends to do the same, and turn it into a friendly competition by posting running tallies on your Facebook pages.

Tip: For $3, you could either download a few songs or have the World Food Program feed two hungry children for a week.

Step 6: Improve your vocabulary

Improve your vocabulary — and help feed the world's poor at the same time — by going to www.freerice.com and answering multiple choice questions on word definitions. For each correct answer, the site donates 20 grains of rice to the hungry.

What a bullshit. The best way to fight the world hunger is to let the "hungry countries" participate in the world trade of goods by removing "protective" import duties in countries like USA or in Europe. That way hungry countries can sell us their goods and services and earn the money by themselves.

So the best way to "feed the hungry" is to write to your favrite politician and ask what's his policy on import duties.
