Sweet potatoes and carrots cover Vitamin A needs.

Carrots (and sweet potatos) contain exactly ZERO micrograms of vitamin A.

There is NO vitamin A in ANY plant food. Period.

What carrots have is Beta Carotine, which is NOT vitamin A. It is a vitamin A precursor, which means that SOME people can convert SOME of it to vitamin A, but it is a very inefficient process.

At most, a person will convert about 2-3% to real vitamin A that the body can utilize, and some people will convert 0%.

Why bother, when all animal foods have REAL vitamin A, if consumed in their natural form?

Vitamin K2 is found in fermented foods in high concentrations. Natto, miso, sauerkraut, kimchi, and tempeh provide all one needs.

No, not exactly. They contain vitamin K, but there are TWO forms of vitamin K: K1 and K2.

Plants are rich in K1 and deficient in K2, while SOME animals foods have the K2. Fermented foods, mostly. K2, of course, is the one that is helpful to humans, and K1 does nothing for us. (This is a common theme when comparing animal foods and plant foods.)

Almonds, walnuts, flax, pumpkin and chia seeds are all good sources of Vitamin F.

Vitamin F is probably not important to human health. Besides that, these are all seeds, which are always toxic to humans. The plants do not "want" animals to eat their seeds, since the seed is the next generation for the plant species to survive.

This is why they are found in the sweet-tasting fruit of the plant. They "want" animals to eat the fruit, let the seeds process through the animal's digestive tract (unbroken), and deposited on land in a pile of fertilizer, so the next generation can sprout.

Eating any type of seed is not good for us. Hey, I like nut seeds too, but they are not a healthy food to eat. They are junk food.

CLA can be obtained from sunflower or safflower oil.

Plants do not contain fats (with a few exceptions, like coconut and avacado), and their oils are not fats, either. CLA in plant foods is an imitation, not the real thing (which is only found in animal foods).

Your body can create carnitine, carnosine, taurine, and other amino acids, just like the animals most people obtain them from.

There are 9 essential amino acids. They are "essential" because the human body does NOT produce them. We MUST get them from our food.

Animal foods have these in abundance, but plant foods do not.
