> Let's keep in mind that most people don't have access to basic hygiene and food safety.

Not to be pedantic, but since another comment questioned that, the numbers for 2020:

> 3.6 billion people lacked safely managed services, including 1.9 billion people with basic services, 580 million with limited services, 616 million using unimproved facilities, and 494 million practising open defecation.

To be clear: I don't care whether this is technically "most people", it is far too many people lacking decent sanitation. (edit: fix wrong negation in last sentence).
