World Leaders Have 18-Course Banquet To Discuss World Hunger
July 8th, 2008, 8:04 PM EDT
At the G8 summit in Japan, they got together to talk about world food shortages.
The same week that British PM Gordon Brown called for prudence and thrift in kitchens around the world, this dinner and a six-course lunch, on the island of Hokkaido, included delicacies such as caviar, milkfed lamb, sea urchin and tuna, with champagne and wines flown in from Europe and the U.S.
I bet this menu would be quite enjoyable
to these people.
Well, the starving can have my share, but so can just about anyone. Virtually non of it appeals to me.

This is ridiculous. This type of hypocrisy boggles the mind.
The Democrats are planning for the DNC, and insisting upon green foods and energy saving procedures during the meetings. I would think that when you get together to discuss world hunger, that you would avoid indulging in luxury food items at every meal.
THIS IS CRAZY.

That menu makes me hungry. HUNGRY FOR JUSTICE…

Nah, I’d much rather eat flys and wheat mush.

I don’t get it…what’s the problem?
Nah, just kidding. That’s…well, that’s sad and very disappointing. Maybe, they should have their talks with a regular meal and take a shift in a soup kitchen. Get a feel for the folks they want to help.

The government sending me a check for $600 was ridiculous. World leaders eating like the elite eat, and rubbing it in our faces, is more along the lines of an obscenity.

Like this stuff wouldn’t act like a laxative to those who you point out are starving. Let’s be thankful they met and served all the leftover to the poor saps who had to wait on them hand and foot. We can all pray that there was more than “White Asparagas” in that soup. One thing rich people can’t control is the amount of special sauce that goes into the food they eat. Don’t tell me that someone didn’t season it specially for them?

Typical. Those that use the mantra of compassion are usually the least compassionate.
One only has to look at the lifestyles of those involved in preaching about man made global warming to see proof.

…and I noticed the only person Brit Hume and Bill O’Reilly smeared was the Prime Minister of England.

A picture (of the menu) speaks a 1000 words. Looks like the food made it to the wrong table.

Most of you are so narrow minded that you miss the real question to the photo. Where are all the black people at the table? There’s not a single black person standing up for the starving black person. Where’s Sharpton, Jackson, Obama etc. You’re all criticle about the white people in the photo while black leaders are sitting on their fat asses at home.

Dude, what the hell are you talking about? You have to be black to care about black hunger? How do you know that Sharpton or Jackson were even invited to this dinner? How do you know there weren’t blacks there, but not pictured? This picture doesn’t show everyone in attendance.
I’m a black woman… so I guess I’ll stop donating money to charity, unless I can verify that the money is only going to blacks. Screw whitey!

Cheryl Carrol,
You’re the very first person to call the G8 Summit a hypocracy. There isn’t a single black in the photo so who’s calling who a hypocrite?
July 10th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
You’ve got some serious perception issues. The hypocrisy is in reference to their ridiculous menu. You know, the menu that is the subject of this entire thread? I don’t know, maybe you got so pissed there weren’t any blacks in the photo that you neglected to read anything.
Anyway, I’ve already conceded your point. As a black woman, I will only care about the poverty of blacks. White people now have your approval to only care about the welfare of whites.

Cheryl Carrol,
The rest of the article shows what’s captioned as “The first wives club” of the G8 Summit and there wasn’t a black woman there either. If the black leaders could’nt make it a wife might have. Anyhow, the picture says it all regardless of how you twist it, and I doubt seriously if you give anything at all.

I think I’ve upset a racist!
July 10th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
Gee, and all this time according to Sharpton, Jackson and others “us white folks” were racists. Mmmmmmmmm.
July 10th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Yup, I’m a racist. I work for the Colored Klan. We wear black sheets instead of white ones. But sshhh… don’t tell anyone.
July 10th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
You could go undercover in the black sheets to a mosque for some covert easvedropping
