    What an unmitigated shitpile of an article.

This x 1000. Author bounces between arguments, cherry-picking the facts he chooses to mention while conveniently ignoring the point.

Who on earth said calories are the only component that matters in a meal?

What about the intense monoculture created by McDonald's massive demand for only Russet potatoes?

What about the unsustainable business practice of drenching fields with pesticides while giving no thought to the runoff?

Why the hell would anybody eat only low-caloric vegetables every day? Has he even heard of rice or beans?

Instead of asking rhetorical questions, I could write out legitimate arguments in response to this author, but what's the point? He's made up his mind and doesn't appear to give any legitimate care towards the arguments made on the other side of the fence.

P.S. Apparently people are either scraping to get by each month or metropolitan rich white ladies focused on food fads.
