Food: – an ingredient for life – a must for sustenance – what both the poor and the rich need to survive – sometimes scarce and unavailable to some people – an item that ailing children scramble for in refugee camps – an item that gets wasted by some – the lifeblood of humanity – providing nourishment that keeps body and soul together – the right kind, will enrich your body system – the wrong type, can upset your body system - very curative – relevant to reducing poverty – an index for measuring success in under-nourished communities – can make one angry – can make one happy – a child’s delight – a mother’s delight when appreciated – everybody’s delight when well done – a child's need - necessary for fulfilling MDGs in developing countries Food - everybody needs it Good food – a must for everyone! « return. |
