food Definition
(from Wikipedia)'Food' is any
substance[http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/212568/food
Encyclopædia Britannica definition] consumed to provide nutritional
support for the body. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains
essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or
minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the
organism's cells in an effort to produce energy, maintain life, or stimulate
growth.
Historically, people secured food through two methods: hunting and gathering,
and agriculture. Today, most of the food energy consumed by the world population
is supplied by the food industry.
Food safety and food security are monitored by agencies like 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.
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".

Open Question: What should me and my Twin sister do for our 18th birthday party?
Me and my Twin sister ,Danielle, want to do something very fun and memorable. We have several friends we can hang out with, but my sister just wants to be with her boyfriend for her birthday, I dont have a boyfriend. We would also love to include our family in this because we want to spend it with family. Our birthday is only 3 days away and suggestions would be helpful. We don't have much money so we cant buy a lot of food or rent out a hall for a dance party or do a super huge party. Were thinking something at our house or something outside at a park. The problem is that our house is a mess and the problem outside is that its too hot in Georgia. Suggestions would be awesome!! And were thinking of doing a child like theme.
Open Question: What am i doing wrong in my interview?
I'm trying to get a job at a fast-food restaurant. I am 21, go to a good college, and have no experience, although I take along a resume listing my (albeit minimal) volunteer experiences. I often get called for interviews, but do not get called back after the interview. Some things I do in the interview: I dress nice; black jeans and a cardigan and a nice blouse, no strong perfume or anything. I stand up straight, look the interviewer in the eye, smile and shake his hand and say nice to meet you. I make a little small talk before the interview starts, which seems to be well received. I've practiced my answer to many interview questions, although they are very brief answers. I try to deliver them slowly (sometimes I talk too fast) and confidently and act positive and interested in the job. When they throw me a curveball question, I do the best I can with it. I research the company a little beforehand and try to throw in something about how I appreciate how they're committed to quality food or whatever. I listen politely and don't interrupt when they start telling me about the position. Last time they asked me if I had any questions, I asked, "What does a typical day in this position look like?" (probably a stupid question for a fast food restaurant; I got it off snag a job.com). At the end I say it seems like a great job and I'm looking forward to hearing from them. I even send a follow-up email thanking them for taking the time to interview me and expressing my enthusiasm about the position. So what am I doing wrong? Things I can think on to improve: Maybe I should work on talking longer than 10 or so seconds, I just get nervous to talk longer. Maybe I should ask a better question at the end, or say some stuff while they're explaining the job to me rather than staying quiet the whole time. Please let me know what you think. I'm getting really frustrated, and my parents are not at all taking the job search seriously and just think interviews for fast food places are a joke. I'm also not at all confident in my people skills. Also here's a sample answer I might give: Why do you want to work here? Well, I I feel like (place here) would be a really good place to work for; I enjoy your food a lot and I know (place) is committed to using healthy and fresh ingredients. I also think I would enjoy working in a fast-paced environment like (place) and I think my attention to detail and work ethic would fit in well here.
Open Question: How true/accurate are the Nutrition Facts found in food products?
I've been seeing Nutrition facts in every cereal box, canned good, junk food foil, etc.. it says the calories you get per serving, i.e. 5 servings, calories per serving 135, carbs, protein, etc.. My question is are these Nutritional information stated in the packaging really accurate? or are there unstated contents? Like if they say a serving has 150 calories, it actually has 180 calories or 120 calories? Thanks. -I'm on a diet, that's why I'm very particular with these..
