Lisa -- Your allegiance to low-carb is apparently affecting your ability to make a well-reasoned argument. The article in question is certainly driven by extremely biased ideology, but your response is no better. Apparently you are refusing to allow the distinction between animal protein and other sources of protein. As a reult you're making leaps of logic that don't make any sense.
Here's an example"

But the article does not say that, does it? Rather it says that we eat twice as much
animal protein. There's a difference, isn't there?
Here's another example of misrepresentation:

Again, the article doesn't say that these billion overweight people eat only 56 grams of protein per day; It says they average 56 grams of
animal protein. That's an important distinction, isn't it?
Here's another overstatement:

Where in this article is it stated or implied that there is some effort afoot to impose low-carb on anyone, or take away freedom to choose one's diet? Since it doesn't say that at all is it safe to assume that you are engaging in the same "scare tactics" you attribute to the writer of the article?
