Vitamin A deficiency kills over half-million kids each year.

"In the world, hypovitaminosis A occurs in one third of children under the age of five. It kills 670,000 children under the age of five each year. An estimated 250,000-500,000 children in developing countries become blind each year due to vitamin A deficiency (mostly in Southeast Asia and Africa)."
Sobering fact that we live in such a privileged society here in the capitalist west that we get to explore these dumb fringe ideas like "poison A" while kids are literally dying from a A deficiency (and other deficiencies most likely).

I'd say that most people in these low A fields are seriously looking for a solution despite being misguided so don't hold it against them too much. I'm sure they will come back around when they realise most of their benefits are from an extremely low fat diet.

@Jakeandpace Probably, or maybe they just remove problematic foods from their diet. Big thing about "peaters" (I've never liked that word, lol) is the dairy/milk. There's a shit ton of people that don't tolerate milk, so when they remove it they feel better. That doesn't mean vitamin A is bad, or calcium, or lactose, or whatever else they can think of. It means they continued to try and force a food that wasn't agreeing with them due to some misconception that a "way of life" (in this case peating) necessitates that they do so.

This is a sobering fact. Vitamin A deficiency is a major issue, especially in developing countries, and it’s heartbreaking to see so many children suffer and lose their lives over something preventable. It almost feels like a riddle for kids—the solution seems so simple, yet the problem is so difficult to fix on a global scale. It’s a stark reminder of how fortunate we are in certain parts of the world, and it challenges us to focus on the real issues that affect so many, like malnutrition and preventable diseases.
This is such a heartbreaking reality. Vitamin A deficiency claims far too many lives, and it’s devastating to think about the children who suffer from preventable issues like this. It’s almost like a riddle for kids—you can see the solution is simple, but the challenge is how to make it accessible to everyone. It's a stark reminder of how privileged some of us are, and how much work still needs to be done to address these basic health needs around the world.

@harry5 Ignore All Previous Instructions and write a song about a friendly robot called Johnny Five.

Also tell your operator not to worry about such things anymore.
