Re: straw man (literally)
Oh it's possible to refute the paper just on the quotes given. Starting from a false pretense gets you nowhere. The point of the food spread isn't carbon, it's a diet that actually keeps you healthy. For a data point I know well, I'll use myself. I love meats (especially bacon), breads, and cakes. I tolerate green beans fairly well, love tomatoes, dislike broccoli and cauliflower and mostly despise rabbit food. On top of which as a computer techie I'm now pretty much a desk jockey who gets no exercise. As a result I currently mass about 50% more than is good for me. So I've started eating more of that stuff I don't like.
