Quote by Mary Catherine Bateson

Human beings do not eat nutrients, they eat food.

Human beings do not eat nutrients, they eat food.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of consuming whole and balanced meals rather than focusing solely on individual nutrients. It suggests that the nutrition we receive is not solely determined by isolated nutrients, but by the combination of various components present in food. It highlights the need to consider the context in which nutrients are obtained, as well as the overall quality and variety of a diet. Rather than breaking down food purely into nutrients, it encourages a holistic approach to eating that acknowledges the significance of food in its entirety.

I would expect illegal alien parents to take care of their children. If it means the kids go back home with them, that's what happens. If it means there are legal relatives in the United States that can take care of them, that can happen to. But I believe it's the parents responsibility to take care of the kids.
