Right to Food

Keeping in mind the human body cannot be expected to function properly and maintain an enjoyable level of health without good food, we propose that the governments of all UN Nations provide free food for all families who are at or below the "poverty level" (being, as described in a previously accepted proposal, US$5,005.50 per adult, and US$4,205.50 per child).

This food must be nutritionally sound and suitable for the people in question as would be calculated by good modern dietetic/nutritional science.

The governments should further encourage said people to find work by whatever means necessary [within legal reason] so that this system is not abused.
