When we speak of a human need, we mean something which is unnecessary to life, something we can live with. 67
Food is a human need. We will starve to death if there 68 were no food on earth; but even if we have plenty of food,but of the wrong kind, our bodies will have problem from lack of the right food. This is known for malnutrition(营69养不良).In countries where are not developed, man’s food 70 needs are the same like in the most advanced societies. We 71 all need food and could live a good life on very few types of food. People in very developed countries eat only the kinds 72 of food which can be grown near their homes, whereas people in developed countries eat foods which are often grown many thousands of miles away form their homes.
People in undeveloped countries are happy with less different kinds of foods than people in very developed ones are, so we can say that despite the needs of the two kinds 73 of people are the same, their wants are different. People in very developed countries eat many different types of meat—they could live by only one, but they would be very 74 unhappy because every time what they ate was the same.
Even such special foods like chicken would be less fun to 75 eat if you had them every day. But we can’t just live on meat—we need other kinds of food like bread, rice, and vegetables which are no more necessary to our bodies. 76
