Food is any substance or material eaten 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.

What is the best food for a cat to gain weigh after nursing kittens?
Q. A mom cat and her kittens adopted my patio a little while ago, and naturally I've been trying to leave some food and water out for them as often as possible. The mom cat was very skinny so I have been feeding her extra foods packed with vitamins and fats, like chicken, special dry & canned cat food, turkey, some beef, and she LOVES biscuits and cheese! :) But she never seems to gain any weight. I want to make sure she is eating enough to produce milk for her kittens and remain healthy, but it doesn't seem to matter what food I give her. Any food recommendations for a nursing stray cat? Also... If they stay around any longer, I will have to take them to the shelter but I'd rather give them to people who will provide a good home. I… [cont.]

A. DO NOT Give "milk milk milk" like the above answer states - cats are lactose intollerant. Give the mother small amounts of yoghurt & PROPER kitten milk (or goats milk - as it is lactose free) out for them. Also, the mother might like some red meat (such as beef) minced & a raw egg in it. You need to make sure the mother's diet is high in calcium so the kittens get the calcium through her milk to ensure they don't have low calcium levels and break their little legs a little while down the track Also, if the mother is now very skinny & not putting weight on, it may be an idea to worm her with a worming treatment that is suitable for breast-feeding queens...as I live in a different country I don't know what is available where you are,… [cont.]

Is food colouring dangerous for children to consume?
Q. I have been hearing food colouring is dangerous for children because in a primary school production of Bugsy Malone we're having custard pies and I decided to make them Tiswas style and use food colouring, but will it be dangerous to get food coloruing in children's mouths for three nights in a row (Pie in face) In the end everyone gets splurged so should I alter the flan idea or will it be OK after left for one hour.

Can we tell the difference between junk food and fast food?
Q. I am a Unitarian, and the food of my religion appear to be junk foods because the spiritual qualities are also religious. Even if they are nutritious, is it a good idea to ration them, or eat them in small quantities, because of their halluciogenic properties? I know that junk foods are unhealthy, and I do not eat such foods, but a Big Mac can be mistaken for a garage burger of sorts. Please help me draw the line such as, "One makes you fat, the other makes you high. One has cholesterol, the other has LSD" and so on. Given the obesity epidemic, I do not wish for an underground movement to replace all fast food chains if fast food was outlawed, especially to ensure the health of our fellow citizens. Please help, for I am also a… [cont.]
