.. the most powerful leaders of the most powerful nations, met to discuss the Global Food Crisis. and they of course had cheese — it was part of the 6th course — of 8 courses..<\/p>\n

You would think that in the modern world, it would be possible for 8 leaders of 8 nations (even 16 leaders of 16 nations) to have a virtual one-on-one. they don’t have to actually physically travel – when the energy crisis is upon us all…. and, if they didn’t travel then they wouldn’t be pilloried <\/a><\/strong>for the food <\/a><\/strong>that they are consuming <\/a><\/strong><\/del>extravagant menu -while discussing the food crisis. <\/p>\n

world leaders triggered outrage today by feasting on a lavish six-course lunch followed by an eight-course, 18-dish dinner at a summit focusing on the global food crisis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
