dear starving people of the world - eat nuts. Never mind you might be allergic to them if not exposed at an early age. Just eat the darn things. /s

Where does this study imagine that all that water to grow veggies to provide 1800 calories a day will come from? (an entire tomato having a paltry 60 calories in reward for 3 months of water and human labor) And where does this study imagine that protein and essential amino acids will come from - the building blocks required for advanced brain development?

protein contents would have to be combined between sources like grains and legumes in order to be sufficient, abetted by starchy carbohydrates sources like tubers...a satisfying, nutritious diet of this sort is possible, but difficult to adjust to our lifestyles...good point about the water, btw...

rain water. I ‘ve had some years of veggie gardening i didn’t have to actually water the plants much and when I did almost all was from prior collected rain. sure that won’t help everywhere but in many areas it could work if people used the resources (rain collection being one) best.
