Extreme Diets, Balance, and Nutritional Deficiencies
This chapter explores the concept of extreme diets, the importance of balance in nutrition, and the potential nutritional deficiencies that can arise from avoiding animal products. It highlights the role of nutrients like zinc and vitamin B6 in maintaining a healthy diet and discusses the link between incorrect information about plant-based diets and severe mental and eating disorders. The chapter also touches on societal pressures, the impact of restrictive diets on women's bodies, and the need for public education on ancestral traditions for better dietary choices.
