It depends on your diet. People who eat a lot of red meat are going to be fine though, as mentioned in the article, it is possible to be anemic from a B12 or vitamin A deficiency as well which could result from a poor diet even if it is high in red meat, the fish won't help with those unfortunately. If your diet doesn't include red meat or has very little of it you could very well become iron deficient.
Anyone who lives in an industrialized nation would derive more benefit from eating a balanced diet if they can afford the time and money to do so. However, if you have very little time and money you might wind up in the same pot as the poor Cambodians. Poverty knows no borders after all.
- dualogy 11y agoI sincerely doubt any diet rich in (reasonably fatty, reasonably "unprocessed") meat would show a Vitamin A deficiency, unless too much of such plant matter as hampers bioavailability and absorption is consumed concurrently. Of course, a diet sufficient in (decent) meat is precisely what the world's poorest can't quite afford. But just to pick nits.
