ABSTRACT
Food is the most basic prerequisite of living organisms. Food builds the body, provides energy for living and working, and regulates the mechanisms essential for health and survival of life. Food thus constitutes the foundation of health of humans and animals. According to a report on Health for All: An Alternative Strategy (1), human health is a function not only of medical care but of the overall integrated development of society-cultural, economic, educational, social, and political. It also depends on a number of supportive services, nutrition, improvement in environment, and health education.
