Inadequate energy intake…inadequate fat intake…hmmm…grain/vegetable based diet…hmmm…does any of this sound familiar?…Calorie restricted fat restricted vegetarian/vegan diet perhaps? The very same that is recommended by mainstream politically correct nutrition for health and longevity. Will they ever get a reality check?? “Animal source foods (ASF) can provide micronutrients in greater amounts and more bioavailable forms compared to plant source foods, but their intake is low in many poor populations.” Another example of how plant/grain based diets are diets of poverty and famine and not foods humans seek out for optimal health. other significant quotes:

“Animal source foods can provide a variety of micronutrients that are difficult to obtain in adequate quantities from plant source foods alone. In the 1980s, the Nutrition Collaborative Research Support Program identified six micronutrients that were particularly low in the primarily vegetarian diets of schoolchildren in rural Egypt, Kenya and Mexico: vitamin A, vitamin B-12, riboflavin, calcium, iron and zinc. Negative health outcomes associated with inadequate intake of these nutrients include anemia, poor growth, rickets, impaired cognitive performance, blindness, neuromuscular deficits and eventually, death. Animal source foods are particularly rich sources of all six of these nutrients, and relatively small amounts of these foods, added to a vegetarian diet, can substantially increase nutrient adequacy”
