COMO SE ENTERE Moratinos del tipo de fiestas que da el embajador estadounidense ante la FAO, en Roma, se le olvida al instante su antipatía por el Tío Sam:

Guests of Tony Hall, the US ambassador to the United Nations food agencies in Rome, were confronted with the reality of living off cups of rice. When they arrived for his party, they were asked to draw raffle tickets, placing them in three categories of wealth.

The richest were served with the customary gourmet meal. Others were handed portions of rice and beans. But there were strained smiles among those who drew the "poorest" tickets. They found themselves shut out of Mr Hall's residence in the elite suburb of Caracalla and left in the darkness to pace the garden.

These diplomats were then presented with a few handfuls of cold rice. A leaflet explained they were representing the 60 per cent of the world's six billion people who struggle to find each meal.

Y ni siquiera les dieron un Ferrero Rocher.
