The matter of protein needs is almost irrelevant in the discussion of appropriate modification of the American diet. Our total food supply system from the producer through the processor to the retail distributor is wasteful of energy and produces a food supply of less than optimal quality. The energy crisis may have a favorable effect on the food supply. We should and no doubt will contribute to the world food supply for a long time to come, but eventually the countries in need of food must solve their problems internally. In the long run, we can probably do more by attempting to conserve resources than by trying to feed the world.
在讨论对美国饮食进行适当调整时，蛋白质需求的问题几乎无关紧要。我们从生产者到加工者再到零售经销商的整个食品供应系统都在浪费能源，并且生产出质量欠佳的食品供应。能源危机可能会对食品供应产生有利影响。在未来很长一段时间里，我们应该而且毫无疑问会为世界粮食供应做出贡献，但最终，需要粮食的国家必须在国内解决他们的问题。从长远来看，我们通过试图节约资源可能比试图养活全世界能做得更多。
