Change the definition of "living in poverty."
Compare the children in Zambia to the children in the UK.
Suddenly we find the children in the UK are incredibly rich.
Take away their food, cell phones, electricity, clean water, sewage systems, computers, free education, libraries, etc., and they really seem like they are living in poverty.
