Abstract
Human nutrition is an economic, educational as well as a scientific problem which becomes more involved due to population explosion. Developing countries such as Pakistan are evidently in the grip of population explosion and malnutrition. Since the inception of Pakistan, about 46 years ago, its population has increased nearly 4-fold which, of course, is not a good omen. Improving nutritional level of food depends mainly upon the improvement of socio-economic and physical factors such as poverty, ignorance, unhealthy environment, low literacy level, rapid population growth and a desirable change in the existing food habits.
