See 98% of American Diets Potassium Deficient (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/98-of-american-diets-potassium-deficient/). For more on how S.A.D. the Standard American Diet is, see Nation's Diet in Crisis (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/nations-diet-in-crisis/). Americans eating meat-free diets average higher intakes of nearly every nutrient. See my video Nutrient-Dense Approach to Weight Management (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/nutrient-dense-approach-to-weight-management/). Isn't animal protein higher quality protein though?
