When guests arrive at The Hunger Banquet, they draw tickets at random that assign each to a high-, middle-, or low-income tier—based on the latest statistics about the number of people living in poverty. Each income level receives a corresponding meal. The 20 percent in the high-income tier are served a sumptuous meal; the 30 percent in the middle-income section eat a simple meal of rice and beans; and the 50 percent in the low-income tier help themselves to small portions of rice and water. During this simulation, we discuss the real effects of hunger around the world and how the influence lives and access to resources. https://goo.gl/forms/zaww4Qm3gVGryGz43 Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations should contact Tra Nguyen at tnguyen@ithaca.edu.
