    No average Americans are suffering from lack of protein. The protein craze drives me nuts.

    The average American lacks fiber and leafy greens.

      It’s probably the most lacking of the 3 majors though, between fast food and processed pre-pack stuff.

      Still, it seems to have held on a lot longer than the period where everything needed to announce itself as gluten free.

        I agree with snot flickerman here. I would say number one is water, then fiber, and then maybe protein but given meat consumption at that level it is not so much a lack as much as an imbalance with what comes after it. Fats, simple carbs, and sugars (to me there are three levels of carbs with fiber, simple, and sugar)
