People will eat healthy food, live in housing in well-designed cities or rural communities, breathe clean air, drink clean water, have access to good sanitation facilities, pursue health-promoting cultural, intellectual and physical activities, and develop their full potential in whatever directions they please. 1, record 1, English, - ecological%20society

Les aliments fonctionnels sont ceux qui contiennent des ingrédients qui présentent des qualités physiologiques supplémentaires par rapport à leur valeur nutritive de base. Les aliments fonctionnels peuvent donc avoir des conséquences bénéfiques pour la santé et le bien-être (en agissant sur l'esprit autant que le corps), et peuvent aussi écarter le risque de contracter un certain nombre de maladies chroniques. 2, record 2, French, - valeur%20nutritive%20de%20base
