From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Food is any substance or materials eaten or drunk to provide nutritional support for the body or for pleasure. It usually consists of plant or animal origin, that contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals, and is ingested and assimilated by an organism to produce energy, stimulate growth, and maintain life. The right to food is a human right derived from the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), recognizing the "right to an adequate standard of living, including adequate food", as well as the "fundamental right to be free from hunger." Historically, people obtained food from hunting and gathering, farming, ranching, and fishing, known as agriculture. Today, most of the food energy consumed by the world population is supplied by the food industry operated by multinational corporations using intensive farming and industrial agriculture methods. Food safety and food security are monitored by agencies such as the International Association for Food Protection, World Resources Institute, World Food Programme, Food and Agriculture Organization, and International Food Information Council. They address issues such as sustainability, biological diversity, climate change, nutritional economics, population growth, water supply and access to food. From Wikipedia under the

It is just something I have not come to understand. Any thoughts? Asked by codiecoco - Thu Jul 16 08:57:38 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. What you are paying for is mostly the cost of production. The more mechanized, the lower cost of production, the lower the cost to you, the consumer, but that also means the lowest quality food stuff. The low cost of highly mechanized farming is to blame, and that means they have to have a high yield, which means pesticides and it also means additives for spoilage and such. So, to have an equivalent yield from organic farming means more labor intensive production which drives the price higher. The cost of food is directly related to the amount of manual labor versus mechanized production. People want perishable items year round when really these are seasonal plants and such. To get year round crops means growing crops year round and that… [cont.] Answered by rowlfe - Thu Jul 16 09:31:58 2009 What are good foods to eat in the winter that are satiating and healthy?
