While I agree what you have written here, and this eating plan represents probably 80% of my diet, I still believe the sub-population issue is too glossed over on this list. If even 1% of the world's population has some genetic flaw or variation that doesn't allow them to thrive on #1-4, we're talking 70 million people unfortunately "left out". And, from what I've read, I think it's actually somewhat greater than 1%.
I've always had an issue with any kind of one-size-fits-all approach or philosophy. It usually starts out with a "hey, this works for me, so it must be right for everyone" attitude, and then if it doesn't work for whatever reason, then "*you* must be doing something wrong". I read way too many posts on this list (and any other list for that matter) that promote those attitudes.
