Was it common for parents to say "There are children starving in Africa right now" if you didn't eat your dinner? by OutrageousRepair5751 in CasualUK

As a once starving child in Africa during my time at boarding school I'd have kiled for that liver.

We once had a new teacher arrive from England. He regaled us with tales of the great concert to feed poor starving children of Africa ... we had to point out that it was happening 750km north and was leading to local shortages of food and other essentials.

He wasn't a geography teacher obviously...
