#3I'd expect the same deficiencies to show up downstream in grain and soy fed cows, pigs and chickens. For meat eaters, that's an argument to spend more for grass fed beef, lamb, buffalo, and pastured chicken eggs.
I don't know if such regenerative agriculture can scale up enough to feed everyone, but it can become a lot more affordable and accessible than it is now.

#4From the source:
"The high rate of magnesium deficiency now postulated [5,6,7,8] can be attributed in part to a steady decline in general magnesium content in cultivated fruits and vegetables, a reflection of the observed depletion of magnesium in soil over the past 100 years [11,12,13]. A report to Congress was already sounding the alarm as far back as the 1930s, pointing out the paucity of magnesium, and other minerals, in certain produce [14]."
The easiest of those references to link to is https://journals.ashs.org/hortsci/view/journals/hortsci/44/1... :
"Three kinds of evidence point toward declines of some nutrients in fruits and vegetables available in the United States and the United Kingdom: 1) early studies of fertilization found inverse relationships between crop yield and mineral concentrations—the widely cited “dilution effect”; 2) three recent studies of historical food composition data found apparent median declines of 5% to 40% or more in some minerals in groups of vegetables and perhaps fruits; one study also evaluated vitamins and protein with similar results; and 3) recent side-by-side plantings of low- and high-yield cultivars of broccoli and grains found consistently negative correlations between yield and concentrations of minerals and protein, a newly recognized genetic dilution effect.

But it does cover more than that and the current title is pretty close.

#7If you put a whole cow into a meat grinder, the resulting paste contains every single micro and macro nutrient required by the human body, in their most bioavailable forms, many of which are completely absent in vegetarian and vegan diets.
For millions of years, humans ate ruminant animals who’s herds they followed around, and almost nothing else.
People who eat nothing but ruminant meat and organs become slim even in advanced age, ripped without going to the gym, regain hair, lose their psoriasis, feel mentally sharper, and see their autoimmune problems go away. And couples who do it get pregnant immediately after failing for years. It’s all documented on meatrx success stories section.
Two doctors have now ate nothing but meat, animal fat and organs for two years and posted their test results. CAC scores of zero despite high LDL. Their hearts are in perfect health.
I’m not breaking guidelines so don’t flag me.

#8The must-read book The Dorito Effect covered this years ago. De-nutrification of food has been decades in the making.

#9A good article I read on a similar angle:
