Hunger Summit Dines on 18 Courses



President Bush and world leaders meeting at the G8 Summit in Japan are discussing world food shortages and policies that have resulted in famine in some parts of the world and runs on staples at your local Costco.

The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs released the above photo showing the leaders and their spouses dining at the Windsor Hotel Toya in the lakeside resort of Toyako, northern Japan's main island of Hokkaido Monday, July 7, 2008.

Out of concern for public relations, and because lavish dinners at other world summits to discuss hunger have been criticized, the G8 dinner was scaled down to the following 18 courses. Just your basic comfort food.
