The Earth Summit to end famine is going fabulously.

<quote>

THE sickening champagne and caviar lifestyle being enjoyed by Earth Summit
delegates was exposed yesterday.
They are gorging on mountains of lobster, oysters and fillet steak at the
Johannesburg conference — aimed at ending FAMINE.

As the summit began yesterday, desperate kids in nearby shanty towns queued
for water at standpipes.

...

While people are going hungry at shanty towns just a couple of miles away,
Mr Morgan told how he had stocked up with an extraordinary array of
delicacies and fine wines.

It includes 5,000 oysters, more than 1,000lbs of lobster and other
shellfish, buckets of caviar and piles of pâté de foie gras.

He has also got in more than 4,400lbs of fillet steak and chicken breasts,
450lbs of salmon, 220lbs of a tasty South African fish called kingclip —
and more than 1,000lbs of bacon and sausages.

Gorging on extravagant food at a summit to end famine - at taxpayers'
expense. Oh, the sickening irony...
