Meanwhile in Africa 

Used to verbally bitch-slap a person who's complaining about something very small. So small that it is just ridiculous in comparison with some people's problems in the poor Africa.
Eva: "No mayonaise? Argh, could this day be any worse?"
Michael: "Meanwhile in Africa..."

Rik: "Argh, nothing is on TV tonight! Im pissed off!!"
Susan: "Meanwhile in Africa..."

starving kids in Africa 

Phrase used by Catholic priests or nuns to guilt parochial students into eating vegetables that are good for them or donating money to yet another Catholic charity.
Example 1:

Sr. Mary: Eat your brussels sprouts, Susie.

Susie: But, I don't like them, sister. They're yucky!

Sr. Mary: I can't believe you are wasting food. Why, there are starving kids in Africa who would give anything to have those brussel sprouts. So, you eat them, you hear? They're part of God's bountiful harvest.

Susie: (Looking guilty) Yes, sister.

Example 2:

Sr. Mary: (To class) As part of our Lenten service project, I am asking that each of you donate your lunch money today to the Feed the Children organization. In return, you will receive one cracker and a bowl of watered-down chicken broth for lunch - just like the starving kids in Africa eat every day.

Susie: (Looking longingly at her lunch money) Yes, sister.
