2 types of malnutrition:
marasmus: fat(-), protein(-)
kwashiorkor: only protein(-) result is edema liver dysfunction
different levels of resistance:
obese people can fast >1yr
normal weight people ~ 2months
a child? babys are the problem
anthropometry instead of BMI?
anthropometry measures the subcutaneous fat and is said to be more adequate in measuring malnutrition, but i dnt knw bout that exactly ...
RDAs
protein is about 0.6 g/kg
(higher if already malnourished)
(9 essential amino acids)
carbohydrates 150g/day
fat 30% of calories
RDAs for vitamines differ by factor 2-3 for infants/ adults
same for elements (e.g. CaČ, Iodine) they are age-dependend
i guess u ll find food-pyramids everywhere in the www, i dnt see how to meet the recommandations by peanuts from the side of the road etc, looks like an agricultural problem, NGOs deal with that, too.

Andy, although you are right that citric acid can clean a penny, it will DISSOLVE the enamel on your teeth. Stick to traditional toothpaste, or better yet, those that build enamel. Also although alcohol in excess can dry out your bodies fluids, swishing and gargling for 30 seconds a day is harmless. Good luck

I have retired here in the Philippines for 7 years after having worked in the country for 3 years for an American company. I found it easy to adapt to the country given the American influences and language. I live in Subic bay/ Olongapo area and our weather is moderate. We get some heavy rains but nothing that is more than an inconvenience http://www.amazon.com/Reinvent-Your-Retirement-Yourself-Philippines/dp/1453663622/ref=sr_1_1?s=gatewayandie=UTF8andqid=1285256314andsr=8-1.
