Also, I'd just like to add that no one here has claimed to be a nutritionist, and, even if they had, they would know the nutritional needs of every person are different. Sometimes those differences are subtle, and sometimes they are stark. What anyone's nutritional requirements are on any given day (or even time of day) is going to vary by the activities they perform, microbes they come in contact with, and environment in which they spend their time (at a bare minimum).
No one knows what the "perfect" diet is (especially for someone they've never met), and in various cultures around the globe, nutrients are gotten from various sources. It strikes me that even if there were a fundamentally correct nutrient intake, the source of those nutrients would still be optional.
For me, this thread is interesting when it's about people asking scientific questions about themselves, and then designing and performing an experiment to gather data and form conclusions. This thread is not interesting (borderline combative, even) when the word hypocrite* gets thrown around or when someone is trying to suggest they know what is "right" for someone else to eat.
*Yes, I made a joke using the word hypocrite, and I repeated it here, to make it easy to point out that my use was both directed at myself and made in jest.
