I note that the diet was "low" in meat and dairy (and was supplemented
in aminos). I have no objections against "low" animal food diets, I
think that eating 3-5% animal food like chimpanzees can be enough to
prevent deficiencies (like B12 deficiency), but if I had to eat that
way, I would probably cook more (I don't want to lose weight).
