[QUOTE="dms1, post: 2120781, member: 176722"] I think Bee Wilson would not argue with what you say about needing a specific diet (she is an omnivore herself) but what she does so well is put that into a global context. She also uses the example you quote of people from the Indian sub continent being more predisposed to T2D because of undernourishment in the womb but highlights the fact that this is lack of food more than type of food consumed. Did you see the report about various poorer African countries having a healthier diet composition than the wealthy West? This analysed the type of foods eaten (usually vegetables) but acknowledged that people could still be undernourished because they didn't have enough to eat. Plant-based eating would clearly feed more people on a global level but whether that would be a popular move is another matter altogether. I think it's called a 'wicked problem'. [/QUOTE]
