Let's solve world hunger

Hat tip to reader Mark

African countries and anti-poverty campaigners looked to the outcome of a food crisis summit on Thursday for a signal the world will start to produce solutions to stop millions more people falling into hunger.

"The world is facing an unprecedented world food crisis and nowhere is this crisis more serious and acute than in Africa," said Kofi Annan, the former U.N. chief who now heads a body aimed at creating a "green revolution" in farming in Africa.

After three days of talks between representatives of 151 countries, the summit was due to issue a declaration committing to "eliminating hunger and to securing food for all, today and tomorrow."


Have you ever noticed that none of these "summits" actually occur in the place where the problem arises.

Instead of Rome, why aren't these bozos in Bangladesh, Darfur, Phnom Pehn, etc.

I originally saw a similar article where the writer applauded these a-holes because at this year's summit because they were no longer dining on caviar, foie gras, lobster etc.

I know many of you think of me as a Nostradamus like figure so let me make another prediction. These idiots will agree that they need to get together for another summit and not one person's hunger will be satisfied as a result of this "summit".
