The 2005 World Food Day USA teleconference "Reflections on Fighting Hunger: Roads Not Taken, Goals Not Met" will be broadcast from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Oct. 14 and available on the Ball State campus via the Video Information System (VIS).

Hosted by Ray Suarez, PBS senior correspondent on "The Newshour with Jim Lehrer" and former host of NPR's "Talk of the Nation," the 22nd annual broadcast originates from the campus of George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

Special guest Frances Moore Lappe, author of the bestselling "Diet for a Small Planet," will offer her perspective on the human-made causes of hunger and the significance of everyday choices in creating a world free of hunger.

In addition there will be a live uplink featuring Pedro Sanchez from the World Food Prize ceremonies in Iowa and a videotaped cameo appearance by Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
