Somehow I really doubt that anybody sits there and counts the grains.
Looking at the site there are some strange points....
- NO imprint
- NO sponsor
- Site is registered to a PO-Box
- Name on the registration is a consumer address that comes with a broadband plan.
- The site is a add-image-trap from linksynergy that pays for PIs.
So if you want to be part of this "rice for the needy" best send the money directly and don't fill the pockets of hoaxes like this.
By imprint, I don't know what you mean.
Answer simply one question, and you'd see three companies logos on the bottom of the page. Those are the sponsors.
No response to your other three points.
Also, even if you do fill the pockets of those "hoaxes," you're still expanding your vocabulary in the process. They deserve at least some recognition for that.
Another thing, they probably don't have to count every single grain of rice. If you can establish the average weight of ten grains of rice, or even 1,000, etc... then you can give out your rice in realistically accurate amounts from weighing them. Of course, you'll end up off by +/- 1000 grains or so when you get up into the millions, but it's still easier than counting 30,000,000 grains of rice.
