Document Summary

Let"s simplify our 7b people population down to a mere 100 where there are 50 females and 50 males. 17 of these people would be illiterate, 16 of them malnourished, and 21 of them overweight, 7 would have a university education. Orthorexia nervosa: characterized by an obsession in trying to eat the right foods. There really aren"t right foods, more so, there are healthier diets. There are no aisles in the supermarket that are particularly good/bad we just need a balanced diet. The food pyramid is controversial, therefore, it is always under construction. We need to look at what life was like beforehand, by looking at food consumption. It is a peanut, fat, protein-based bar that is given out to countries that lack nutrition. Recall schwarcz: you are what you eat (kale heads: now transformed to: you are what your mother eats, we are what we eat, etc. C, h, o the basic elements featured in food.
