How many human beenigs have unsatisfied basic needs (Food, Health, etc)

How many human beenigs have unsatisfied basic needs (Food, Health, etc)?
Also, what porcentage of world's population had unsatisfied basic needs before, was it bigger, how bigger? Do you know where to find straight and relieful "world numers" like this? Most of my spelling errors are carelessness-related. Most of my grammatical errors are intensional. "Wrong category" when refering to philosophy is even more subjective than my unanswerable "Q" (I will assume that's "question", in any case it should be "Q." but maybe such mispunctuation is related to not beeing able to tell orthography from gramatics). My terrible writting is less evident when I write in my home language, instead of the others I handle. Fortunately, I constantly improve my writing skills, meanwhile I've chosen not to wait untill I master a language before I dare use it. What I am looking forward to read is prescisely the diverse views of those who care and are versed on this matter (and I think the tone of my question shows this). FilÃ³mata (as should be obvious to anyone who speaks english) is spanish for Philomath (lover of learning). I always correct people when they express themselves incorrectly, instead of saying that I don't mean any offense.

With no real offense meant as it relates to your spelling or grammer, and the fact that you're asking in the wrong category, I suggest that statistics regarding your Q are likely impossible to compose. I'll offer that it is likely in the billions. AND unsatisfied is a nebulous, subjective, and relative word to describe the situation you ask about. I live in the USA. I live at a level I consider UNSATISFACTORY, and often below "Poverty" level standards,,,but I count myself fortunate that NEEDS at a subsistence level are avilable to me, usually through "Social Services" Many occupants of various countries have NO support systems available,,,as I do,,, and swallowing my dissapointments and egos may not fill my belly, but many in the world don't even have that option.

G'day Filomata, Thank you for your question. The best place to look for answers is in places like the World Bank, UNESCO and so forth. Poverty is defined as the lack of essential services such as food, clothing, shelter and healthcare. The World Bank defines extreme poverty as living on less than US$ (PPP) 1 per day, and moderate poverty as less than $2 a day. It has been estimated that in 2001, 1.1 billion people had consumption levels below $1 a day and 2.7 billion lived on less than $2 a day. The proportion of the developing world's population living in extreme economic poverty has fallen from 28 percent in 1990 to 21 percent in 2001. Much of the improvement has occurred in East and South Asia. In Sub-Saharan Africa GDP/capita shrank with 14 percent and extreme poverty increased from 41 percent in 1981 to 46 percent in 2001. Other regions have seen little or no change. In the early 1990s the transition economies of Europe and Central Asia experienced a sharp drop in income. Poverty rates rose to 6 percent at the end of the decade before beginning to recede. I have attached sources for your reference. Regards

Hello, Filomata, We can appreciate your interest in such statistics. If you seek 10 different media for information you will get 10 completely different statistics.which one would you believe. Moreover , the basic needs like food for an American may be Cereals, eggs, bread and jam and yougart. The basic need for a labourer in India is just some quantity of rice. he is more happy than the American. The health care in America, for example is so expensive unless you have insurance. In India every city has FREE hospitals where anyone can get free treatment.No insurance. Everywhere there are pockets of problems .Whatever you and I can do for these will be a step forward.

NEED implies cannot live without it. Human beings who do not get their needs met DIE. Looking at children alone, 10.5 million die each year because their needs are not met. This is very close to the number of people who will die from tobacco related causes. The issue is not just meeting needs, it is providing people with a safe and secure environment and enough education to prevent self destruction through Drug abuse (including tobacco) and AIDS and other health issues. The sites below should give you a start:

Is it hazardous to your health to cook food in a zip-lock bag in boiling water

Is it hazardous to your health to cook food in a zip-lock bag in boiling water?

Yes. .The bag will melt. The "boil in bag" that you get with frozen food is specially designed to hold up to the tempretures.
2 :
yes
3 :
No, just make sure the air is squeezed out so it won't burst while cooking.
4 :
Not to my knowledge. I manage a motel at the Jersey Shore during the summer and have had "make your own omelet" breakfasts which involves putting everything in a zip lock bag and boiling it. Never any complaints of illness to date. As for long term hazards your guess is as good as mine. I got the idea from a camping magazine, so I doubt it was formally tested for long term risks.
5 :
It could be, They are now saying that plastic's such as cling free plastic wrap, plastics that are stored in the freezer's , any type of plastic has some dangerous chemical in it that is released into the very food its holding when heated , whether its cooked on stove or microwave , or conventional ovens...just another caution..!!!!! I always did wonder about that plastic and the moisture it built up and knowing I would not want to eat plastic ..
6 :
no, i make omlets in a bag for my family all the time and we eat them when we go camping. We didn't get sick and we are all alive!
7 :
I have never heard of anything like that so I would doubt that there is any hazard.

Do you work in food service or health care and have to cut corners to keep your boss off your back

Do you work in food service or health care and have to cut corners to keep your boss off your back?
The maids in hotels are expected to do more, in less time, for less money these days. Nurses, Nurse's Aids, Cooks, and various medical workers, are mostly forced to work very fast to the point that they violate state, city, and federal rules. Do you feel forced to break the rules to keep management off your back?

Absolutely!!! I work in a restaurant - I have worked in various different restaurants over the last five years from casual dining to fine dining, from waiting to managment. In every single situation I have been put in situations where I do not feel comfortable with what I am being asked/forced to do. I have been forced to underpay staff who are known not to check their payslips because we can get away with it. I have been forced to work for fourteen hours unbroken and to make others do the same. Food that is sub-standard is sent out because we know most people won't complain. Cleanliness and hygeine are only an issue when the health and safety officers are due to come by - believe me we always know when they will come. The health and safety of both staff and consumers constantly come last in the food sector. In my experience of being a patient in hospital I an say that medical services are little different.
2 :
I worked as a chambermaid in a hotel that whenever 1 maid left or was put off the other maids had to do extra to make up. This went on until it got so that no matter how had and fast you cleaned it was impossible to do a through job, then they would hire another 1 or 2 maids. But for a time they had 1 or two less wages to pay. Where I am now I have to do 1 day at my employers mothers house but still keep up here. Also at times when I have asked for time off ma'am will say "Oh Kim please make sure so and so is taken care of before you go won't you". This will almost always mean that my time off is shortened because doing "so and so" takes longer than the time she has allowed. For example, if there is some ironing I haven't finished because it is not urgent she will say "please finish the ironing before you go" even though nothing in the basket is required

ow bad for your health is fast food

How bad for your health is fast food?
Why?

1 :
It is about the worst thing that you could possibly eat. First off, there is the extremely high fat content. If you can't get rid of the extra weight, then you have a problem. Second, there is usually sugar added. Sugar is not very healthy.
2 :
too much chemical to keep the food fresh, the cholesterol is filled in every piece of food ( mainly most of the cholesterol the one that block your artery that lead to heart attack and eventually paralyze you) but majority of the cholesterol take a while to be broken down. If you take biology I think you'll know, I forgot about it so I don't want to confuse you. Stroke, Heart attack, there is a lot of bad factor. You can eat it once a while but dont' eat it everyday and sit on your behind hoping nothing will happen. Do enjoy it once a while, but be sure to limit yourself.

It's very bad. They are making the "food" as cheaply as possible so profit can be as high as possible

She's not making you eat health food. She is encouraging and educating others on the benefits. Let her eat her junk food, she knows the risks, why do you care?

Huh. The gestapo must have missed me - I was able to pick up fast food on my way home from work yesterday. I seem oddly immune to the programs that conservatives keep telling me the Obama administration is conducting - I've been oddly lucky in evading insurance death panels, mandatory Muslim prayer, and higher taxes, too. On an off note, I wonder if it's possible to conduct an entire political movement against a straw man opponent?
8 :
When did Michelle Obama tell you that you can't eat a cheeseburger?
9 :
If any politician was "requiring" health food for me, I'd be the first to slather them in BBQ sauce and ride 'em out on a rail. But the First Lady just goes on photo-op busywork trips teaching kids to eat carrots instead of Frosted Snickerdoodles. It's not that frightening. Now then, who wants a burger? I'm starving.

Typical progressive piece of trash!! Do as I say not as I do!

After reading this in the media I would have bet money that there would be an inane question like this. Please name a policy put forward by Michelle Obama requiring health food for Americans.

Lets face it folks, you can look at her and tell she is no vegan.

She doesn't "require" anything of anybody. I'm eating a Big Mac right now and she hasn't said jack.

Because Hubby loves big butts.
15 :
She was invited to Katies Diner, have you seen the menu? She was being polite...

Because humans eat. Do you actually believe that she requires you to eat health food? I feel sorry for you being so timid.
17 :
do you seriously have nothing better to do than criticise someones diet?
18 :
Shes a hypocrit
19 :
She has to nourish that humongous ass of hers somehow. And it is kind of a Marie Antoinette kind of thing. "let them eat tofu" as she chows down on roast beef and chittlins. After all, the liberal media propaganda machine has touted her as the most powerful woman in the world because she says that you and your kids are too fat and then they ooh and aahhh at her toned arms and grovel in the radience of her beauty. She is an angry wookie/cow who wants to steal your pie. There. I said it. Report me.
20 :
Because she's a Democrat. Democrats demand the ruling-class have plenary power to run their own lives - and yours.
21 :
Gibbering nonsense. Improving nutrition education doesn't "require health food" for anyone. It's educating people about how to eat a balanced and healthy diet, and how to moderate their "treats." This is utterly non-issue.
22 :
There is no way anyone can know whether our first lady eats healthy or not based upon what the news tells us. The best way is to see if she is overweight or appears like she often eats cheese burger and fries. I do not eat these things in front of my son because he wants them always and I want to be a role model. I have been known to eat these when my son is not around because I like fries and I like them a lot. Here lies the split between what I know to be healthy and what I know I want to eat. I need to train my brain to do the former again and again and again. For the most part, I eat healthy but some kind of backward reward is for me to be able to order what I want once a month. Life in most things is about balance. It is about progress and not perfection. Thank goodness the first lady is working on the things we need to do for ourselves to have a healthy lifestyle. Our kids are the first generation who are not expected to live as long as we may live. Lets make hamburgers healthier. I make healthy fries with a special oil sprayer and an oven that my kid loves

no, it just means that it is better than some other foods for example regular fried potato chips dont have the check, but baked ones do. baked chips still aren't "good" for you, but they are better than fried ones. hope this helps

Quite a bit - Health is a broader degree, and more into wellness, while nutrition is more specific and licensed. You would be better off to find the nutrition and then look for dance
