And that is HALF the diet! Imagine a plate, and half of it is wheat, rice, and maize. Every meal like that. Every person like that. Wow. another 8% from soybeans another 5% from sugarcane (probably as white sugar) More carbs! That's already 63% of the human diet. Yes, 63%. I rounded the above numbers. Why are you checking my work? Don't you trust me? Next is 3.8% from pig meat. Finally some meat! The total meat will be more than 7% once we count it all. Imagine those carnivore diet people. Fuck 7%. They are at 100% (I suppose?) 3.1% from rape and mustard seed (probably as canola oil) 2.1% from potatoes (more starch!) Wait... people get more calories from canola oil than from potatoes!? 2.1% from barley (more starch!) 1.9% from poultry meat. Finally some more meat, but this so far adds to 5.7% meat. I hope there is more... Finally we get to 1.8% from all other vegetables combined. So those recommendations that say your plate should be 1/2 vegetables.. I guess they didn't consult with the food growers of the world first. 1.7% from sugarbeet (as more white sugar again!) 1.5% from groundnuts (is that peanuts?) 1.4% from sorghum (I'm not even sure what sorghum is) and then 1.4% from bovine meat... Our meat total is now up to 7.1%. That's the end of the list. Everything else was too small to count. Historically a number of other crops have made up large portions of the human diet such as: Rye, Jerusalem artichoke, Cassava, Sweet Potato, Parsnips, Broad (Fava) beans, and Squash / Pumpkin. Did I miss any? I'd like to know if I did.
