I didn’t dive into the text or infographic but one thing that is immediately suspicious to me is the nutrient profile used for “leveling”. In particular it contains B12, but none of the foods listed even naturally contain meaningful levels of B12. B12 is created by microogranisms, not plants and not animals. The other two charts seem superficially to fully support the thesis of OP’s article. The third chart looks like pure fudge factor.
People cite B12 as evidence that vegan diets are not complete. And yet, vegans score much higher than consumers of the SAD on serum B12 levels. Meat-eaters are more deficient in B12 than vegans are. And yet it’s all you hear about…
