> That would mean an infant getting one half the calories a parent thinks they are, which does not seem trivial to me. As opposed to none? Again, there is a shortage. Thus the poorer end of the spectrum will go without.

Try instead replacing some of the fat with sugar. It's all biological fact. Research Insulin, blood sugar, and Ghrelin. Insulin responds to high blood sugar levels and tells all your cells to take in the sugar. Ghrelin triggers when yo
