    Credible citations for this claim??
    We do not "need" anywhere as much protein as the Cowboy Culture has
    programmed the ignorant masses to believe.

    Do you still think that world ends on east coast of US, at the border
    of Canada in North, at the border of Mexico in south and at the
    Pacific sea in west?

    In that world you are right.

    In Africa you are completely wrong. There is almost no protein
    available for humans in the savannah area, because all is sold to US
    to be eaten by you. The inhabitants are more or less starving to
    death, at least in Sahel area.

    Please join a Red Cross group working with these people for the next
    two years, or go to Sumatra, working in Aceh region, and find what
    happens when US has removed all edible proteins.

    No wonder why some tries to do something about it.
    (But of course, you have much more money than those, so you use your
    right to eat their food.)

    So you recommend all adults, children, babies, etc go on a permanent
    ZERO carb diet? Do I need to provide you the definition of essential?

    I think everyone reading knows what "essential" means

    essential for good health but not to live.
