A lot of uncited scare claims in this article. If "hidden hunger" is
> a chronic lack of essential micronutrients in the diet, such as vitamins and minerals
then I'd bet most of the world - vegan or not - experiences hidden hunger.
> For example, iodine deficiency is the most common cause of preventable mental impairment and the UK ranks seventh among the ten most iodine-deficient nations
So are most of those with iodine deficiency in the UK also vegan?
> The consumption of cheap, energy dense, nutritionally poor and heavily processed foods, particularly by poorer members of society, is a major factor.
Cheap, energy dense, nutritionally poor and heavily processed foods... are all vegan?
> The rapidly growing trend of veganism is likely to become another major contributor to hidden hunger
Oh I see... is *likely* to become. So it isn't yet, in contrast to the clickbait headline.
