About Vitamin A

Presence of fat in the diet is important for the absorption of fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and carotene present in the diet. (1)
Vitamin A is required for vision and integrity of epithelial cells (in mucosa/hollow organs). If Vitamin A is less, it can lead to permanent blindness. Retinol or preformed vitamin A is found in butter, ghee, whole milk, curd, egg yolk, liver etc. (2)
Liver oils of fish like cod, halibut, shark and saw fish are the richest natural sources of the vitamin. It is completely absorbed by the body. (3)

"Children from non-dominant caste and religious backgrounds are also the ones that bear the brunt of malnutrition. A study found that casteism was linked to stunted growth — often caused by poor nutrition in the first 1,000 days of a child’s life."
theswaddle.com/karnataka-scho…
"Data suggests that children from the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe community were 14% more likely to be stunted than dominant-caste Hindu children; children from the OBC community were 10% more likely, and upper-caste Muslim children 9%."
The National Institute of Nutrition has made the inclusion of eggs in mid-day meals mandatory since “they are considered cheaper, safer, more nutritious, and easier to procure than alternatives such as milk or bananas,” The Wire reported in 2018.

Worth reading this on livestock and greenhouse gas emission
aleph-2020.blogspot.com/2019/06/greenh…
Global data should not be used to evaluate local contexts

Regional differences are due to large variations in feed digestibility, genetics, slaughter age/weight, climate conditions, and management as well as a different focus on wealth, draft power, fuel, religious significance
In Europe, lower footprints are partially ascribed to the fact that 80% of beef comes from dairy animals.
Globally, a 30% reduction can be achieved if all producers would adopt the practices used by the 10% most efficient ones (or 18%, adopting the best 25%)

The only debate should have been whether the egg should be boiled or made into an omelette

The conflict is actually between ideology/politics vs simple nutritional science.

The children of the state need answers
