Classic Idea: Uncomfortably Full/Chefs Without Borders
It would be a band or 'Zine name: "Uncomfortably Full" for a socially-aware group with a message pointing out the discrepancy between first and third world living and how our own first-world gluttony leads to social, cultural and environmental "gas" and other "digestive disorders." Songs for a band could be along those lines.
An alternative would be using it as the name for the official publication of "Chefs Without Borders", a group dedicated to helping impoverished peoples make the most delicious meals possible out of what little they have. The magazine would include a recipe every month using grubs and stuff. First Worlders would have to make a trek to their local specialty food store to recreate the recipes in an authentic manner. There would be a line of "authentically hungry people foods," the sale of which would go to benefit genuinely hungry people. So, you could buy a sack of genuine UN rice for three times what it usually costs to make your recipe out of "Uncomfortably Full," and the profit would go to subsidize actually really hungry people getting another two bags of rice. It could also be a diet fad.
