Observations

• The difference in available food energy from MEDW to LEDW is from 3780 to 1580 [Somalia]. How do these figures compare? what is the range?

• Japan has a figure of 2900, why this low?• Over 25% of food in industrialised countries are cereals, a quarter

from meat, fish, eggs, milk + cheese• In the least developed countries 46% from cereals, 20% from

tubers. Does this cause Under-nutrition of Malnutrition?• Nutrients, minerals vitamins protein + fat lacking in LEDW - can we

identify this area? [look at Smill Fig 6.1]• How does the higher level of fats in MEDW manifest itself [look at

inner brown wheel of pie chart on Smill 6.2]• INFO FROM BarkRedSkin 202+ and Smill 202
