Give yourself a slimming New Year's present! After all this wallowing in food, the UN World Food Programme offers a handy way of moving the surplus calories to worthier mouths. Give away your January desserts, for instance!

A one-minute advertising spot explains what it is all about, and you can make your donation on the programme's own pages. If you would rather go through a Finnish organisation, you can give a belated Christmas present, a goat, say, or a piglet of their very own, ridiculously cheaply to someone who is certain to be delighted with it.
