CMV: Physical objects or services can not be considered human rights
I see a lot of posts on reddit about stuff like healthcare being a human right, housing being a human right, food being a human right, etc. What finally prompted me to create this post was that I saw a post about how the UN tried labeling food a human right, but was blocked by Israel and the US. These never made much sense to me, since there is a difference between physical goods and concepts. For example, I can completely understanding that people should have the right to free speech, freedom of expression, right to vote, etc because these don't take away from anyone. But for things like food or college, how can these be considered a right when they rely on the goods or services of others? If something like healthcare is determined to be a right, what happens if no one wants provides it? I can be a bit of an overly-literal person, so am I just taking the phrase "right to" too literally, and reading these phrases as "people have the right to be given food/healthcare" when they really just mean "people should be able to obtain their own food/pursue healthcare"(even if they must be acquired through their own means, like purchasing)?
I do want to say that I believe that these things should be provided by governments or organizations that are able and willing to provide them, im not trying to argue that they shouldn't be. Im moreso just confused on the wording itself, since they seem to be brought up pretty often but don't seem possible in the same way that "right to practice your religion of choice" would be
