Abstract

The main issue of this paper is the education, enlightenment, and modification of behavior of a group of white, middle-class Christians concerning world hunger, that they may both gain control of their eating habits and make a living witness in the feeding of the multitudes. Selected persons will attend a 90-minute session each week for ten weeks in which they will receive information on world hunger, education on the use of dietary exchange lists for diet control, and group support for personal needs and concerns. They will be tested before and after the project for evidence of learning. They will submit weekly progress reports on diet control. They will experience a 24-hour fast. They will be given recipes and other information to facilitate low-calorie, vegetarian and other diet programs. Twelve persons participated in this project. Generally, all persons lost weight or achieved their dietary goals. Most gained valuable insight into world hunger issues. All persons received excellent group support. This project shows that people can become involved in world hunger issues and learn skills of diet management in a non-threatening, supportive atmosphere.
