Leaders at UN food summit tone down menu

Zimbabwe’s illegitimate president Mugabe will be at the UN food summit and considering that he is harassing and outright banning aid groups in that impoverished country from delivering food and medicines to those in need, well I think the only equitable solution is to take away any food put in front of Mugabe at his summit and then beat him when he goes for the dinner rolls.

Perhaps mindful of accusations of hypocrisy levelled at them six years ago, world leaders tightened their belts this year and were offered a far more modest menu of pasta, mozzarella, spinach and sweetcorn at the equivalent fixture.

“It does not look good if leaders discussing global starvation are seen to be dining lavishly,” an FAO official said. “At the last summit in 2002 we did not give enough thought to the menu and were open - unfairly, in our view - to the charge of hypocrisy.”
