The site is really really addicting... I do it whenever I don't feel like doing my homework, because it's easier to justify procrastination when it's like, "But I'm feeding starving people!"

I wonder if it actually works...

Yeah, Via said the same thing.

It is really addictive... and even if it doesn't donate as much as it says, it's still a good vocab tool :P.

Why don't they just give them the rice? The rest of the world shouldn't have to prove their vocabulary skills just so someone gets food. :P

Whos complaining :P *teasing*
I like to do it to improve my vocab., but I agree with you. I think they should just be able to give it to the people. =]

Because companies don't like just giving things away. For some odd reason. And they get more attention this way XD

Guys... it's a pay per click sort of thing. If we don't go to the site, the advertisers advertising on it don't pay up, and freerice can't pay for it.
dun worry
it's all gun be k

3300+ grains, level 40-something vocab, and then I realized I really need to do some homework
