How can 180 people eating lunch and shopping in Rome help these children?

Article Abstract:

Many non-governmental organisations and individuals within the United Nations feel that the four-day World Food Summit currently being hosted by the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organisation in Rome, Italy, on behalf of around 180 national delegations is a waste of time and resources. The draft declaration associated with the event has no real power or significance, and there has been very little enthusiasm among world leaders for the summit itself.
