How to make the right to food a fundamental right?

You do have the right to food.  By "fundamental right" do you mean the goverments' responsibilty?\n\nIn that case, no.  I believe that some people need help to eat and obtain shelter and they deserve ASSISTANCE, but the fact is that there are many more who don't.  They choose to make others responsible for their well being and abuse it.\n\nFor example:  Not long ago, I was in a gas station convienience store and standing in line behind a woman who was using a Lone Star Card (food stamps in Texas) to buy a can of coffee, soda and a loaf of bread.  After completing that transaction, she then removed cash from her purse and purchased ciggarettes and lottery tickets.  Three problems here: 1. Food stamps are for nessessary food...not coffee, soda, candy etc....  \n2. Where we were was a CONVIENIENCE store...food stamps for convienience?  A loaf of bread in Stop-n-Go is $3.00 when it is $1.29 in a regular grocery store.\n3. SHE HAD CASH! for tobacco and lottery tickets.\n\nSo, you see the quandry with making it a "fundamental right"  People are not accountable for themselves and take no responsibilty for there own economic situations.  So you think this should be the taxpayers problem?  It already is!\n\nYou do have the right to food, but the person producing the food also has the right to compensation for his/her product.  How would you feel if Uncle Sam told you that the work you do for a living would not be compensated this week because lazy, non-productive citizens have the "fundamental right"?\n\nUntil we hold individuals accountable for their actions, there is no solution.

Introduction\nTHE PROCESS of development along with the expanding globalisation and liberalisation process has increased the number of consumer related issues. Consumer protection has earned an important place in the political, economic and social agendas of many nations. In India, the Government has taken many steps including legislative, to protect consumers. \nEducation is a life long process of constantly acquiring relevant information, knowledge and skills. Consumer education is an important part of this process and is a basic consumer right that must be introduced at the school level. Consumers by definition include all citizens who are, by and large the biggest group, who are affected by almost all government, public or private decisions. The most important step in consumer education is awareness of consumer rights. However, consumer education is incomplete without the responsibilities and duties of consumers, and this influences individual behaviour to a great extent.\n\nDefinition\nConsumer awareness is making the consumer aware of His/Her rights.\nConsumer awareness it a marketing term. It means that consumers note or are aware of products or services, its characteristics and the other marketing P's (place to buy, price, and promotion). \n\nUsually commercials and ads increase consumer awareness, as well as "word of mouth" (a comment from someone you know about a product or service). \n\n   Need :\nwe need it so we will not be misled by producers,it explains if what we buy is worth to our money..and not harmful to us and to environment .\n\nMany people are ignorant of their rights to get protected against the exploitation by so many others. So when there is a forum for such redress of grievances there seems to be no such exploitation by many; and becomes a rare one. So in order to get a clear picture of the level of exploitation of consumers, the awareness is required. \n\n\nRole of producers\nproper labeling, full information, health warnings, handling information, expiration date, etc. keep to requirements, norms, standards\nlabelproducts according requirements, providing true facts\nThey have to produce and deliver the goods/services of rght quality at right price at right time at right place at right quantity with right face\n\nIf they are providing a service they should  carry it out with due skill and care. They must also make sure that any materials they provide as part of this service are fit for the purpose.\nIt is also illegal for a supplier to cut off, or threaten to cut off, supply to a reseller (wholesale or retail) because they have been discounting goods or advertising discounts below prices set by the supplier.

Something you feel strongly about. Suggestions:\n-Abortion\n-War in Iraq\n-Gay Marriage\n-Animal Testing\n-Smoking Bans\n-Death Penalty\n-Gay Rights\n-Alternative Fuel Sources\n-Legalization of Drugs, Prostitution\n\nJust be sure not to argue anything based on taste/personal preference...any teacher that is not a complete idiot will point out that taste is not arguable, so don't waste your time writing an essay about McDonald's.

Governments have specific rights.  Most of the Bill of Rights ammendments dealt with individual rights.  To allow the specific government rights (eminent domain comes to mind right away) the 10th ammendment was passed ot allow state governments to exercise their powers

change your relationship to food from one of comforting friendship and fullness to one of a trivial chore of organic matter consumed daily in correct amounts to fuel your body. i mean eat to live dont live to eat. it IS all in your head you can do it. have an argument and break up with your fridge and tell it you dont love it anymore. or whatever. just break the links in your head between emotion and food.

'Natural' rights are those freedoms which we believe or arrange statutorily to be the same for all persons. This is an often misunderstood concept attributed to morality and religion. In reality, though, ALL rights which we have in society are statutory, in other words, determined by laws (either written or assumed rules). In quid-pro-quo fashion, we agree to behave as civilized people in exchange for the protection of societal advantages, such as not being killed for frivolous reasons, not being treated as less than other individual humans, etc. The strength of individual rights in a particular country hinges upon the overall integrity of that country's laws and communities, and resources to provide adequate living conditions for it's people. In other words, if a country is relatively stable and sustainable, its people will be able to maintain social contracts within it. If a community, province, country, or world has instabilities in supplies, overpopulation, inadequate legal structure or unbalanced power/trade, then the variations in resources, weapons, or attitudes will affect the ability of people within and around that area to conduct normal relations and enter into agreements on a fair basis, whether competitively or cooperatively.

Don't hold your breath waiting on the government.  As past history has shown, they tend to be beholden to corporations who help them get re-elected, and not necessarily to you and me.  If you're not sure about an ingredient and you want to be safe, don't eat or drink it.\n\nIt goes without saying that you will be better off sticking to things that are as natural as possible, which is sometimes easier said than done.  Use some common sense and read up on the specific ingredients you're concerned about and make your own decisions.  I think you'll be disappointed if you're looking for someone to tell you what's good or bad because there are disagreements on many things.

Our drug policy causes more harm than the drugs themselves. Adults have the right to take risks, to make foolish choices. What next, laws to compel us to eat our spinach?

Find a common goal to work toward, such as improving the conditions of farms along the borders.\nBribes. This sounds like something bad to most Western ideologies, but in many parts of the world, they are a part of life, like wedding gifts and dowry. \n\nFirst priority should be an objective view of the dispute. Possibly a mediator from a mutually respected country.

A good rule of thumb is you have rights to just about any action that doesn't impinge upon the rights of others. Example: you have the right to smoke but not where other people are that don't want to be exposed to second hand smoke, like a restaurant.

I suspect your question is rhetorical, and you know the answer is no.  Natural rights are what we have just for being human beings, such as mentioned in the Declaration of Independence, AMONG THESE (not all of them) are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.\n\nPrivileges are just that; something which is granted by an authority and can be taken away by that authority.  Name one privilege the U.S. government has granted to all citizens?  The "right" to vote is actually a privilege, since it can be taken away by the government, and is if you are convicted of a felony, if you swear allegiance to another country, probably other reasons.

dba_gregg is right - its in the Declaration:\nWe hold these truths to be self-evident That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.

You absolutely have that right. It is protected by the bill of rights -- right of assembly and free speech.
