everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality, and freedom for their spirit" (quoted in Hollingsworth, 1999, p. 17).
The relationship between economics, nutrition and health is a complicated one, to say the least. It is often assumed that less economically developed countries (LEDC) have a
greater problem with undernourishment while more economically developed countries (MEDC) is more inclined toward problems associated with overnutrition or obesity. There are a number of variables that must be
examined before making such an assumption. Issues of development, what constitutes malnutrition and mitigating circumstances must be considered. The definition of development is seen in terms of
variables such as availability of food and water, the level of health, education and happiness, the sense of community and the level of technology available. Economics and well being
are two very separate elements within the definition of developed. Not all countries with a low standard of living have low ratings of well being and not all
countries with high economic status have high levels of well being (Anonymous, 2001). These indications are also variable across time and within different areas of each country.
The most common definition of nutrition is based on caloric intake as well as meeting nutritional needs. Undernourished means that there is less calories consumed than is needed for
