Hunger and climate change are some of the major global problems that we are experiencing now. Elaborate on two specific ways as to how (a) nanotechnology and (b) genetic engineering can help humans experience human flourishing by alleviating problems in (1) food security, (2) global warming and (3) economy.

You are what you eat. What does this mean? If you eat only celery, will you become a vegetable? Sometimes there are so many words used to describe foods and nutrition, it is difficult to make sense of them. In fact, we do use the food we eat to provide energy and also the building blocks for growth and development. Even after you are fully-grown, your body, just like any other machine, needs to make constant repairs to injured areas and must replace cells that have died. To make sure that the structure of your body is correct and strong, you must provide it with a regular supply of the right building materials. Foods are the building materials for the body. There are six large categories of nutrients in food. These are carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. Each food you eat not only contains more than one nutrient, but also a different number of calories (energy). Fat, protein, and carbohydrates provide calories, or energy as well as building blocks. Vitamins,…
