ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION

The axiomatic observation that what may happen to any of us can happen to all of us has diverse applications. The sense in which it is cited most frequently pertains to the dispensation of justice. Its application to food is no less real and merits consideration by scientists concerned with the production and distribution of food.

Biological scientists have long recognized the impossibility of maintaining healthy populations interspersed with disease-ravaged people. Public health measures, accordingly, are administered to protect the health of all the people of a community and not just some of them.

Social scientists have similarly recognized that a prosperous society rests on solid foundations only when all members of the society participate in the prosperity. Accordingly, trickle-down theories have been discarded in favor of more direct approaches toward bolstering the economically weak or less prosperous groups.

The debilitating effects of malnutrition contribute to the incidence of disease and economic deprivation.
