Many people do not have enough money to buy the food
that they need. Bad weather or other problems

we say that there is famine there.
Food can make people sick if it is contaminated
by microorganisms, bad metals, or chemicals.
If people do not eat the right foods, they can become

types of ethnic foods include Italian, French, Japanese,
Chinese, American, Cajun, Thai, African, and Indian
