Neither of these indicators specifically captures the biological contribution of diverse plant and animal species to human diets. Existing diet diversity indicators such as the diet diversity score (DDS) or food variety score are used as proxies for dietary quality and measure the diversity of unique food groups and food items consumed, respectively ( 19).
Research linking biodiversity, agricultural production diversity, and human diets has used multiple metrics without validation from a dietary point of view ( 18). Evidence within the context of sustainable diets is particularly limited when it comes to human diet and biodiversity ( 17). While hunger, food security, and sustainability are addressed in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the current indicators used for SDGs 2 and 15 capture nutritional status, sustainable management of terrestrial ecosystems, and agricultural sustainability dimensions separately and do not consider diet quality or food biodiversity loss ( 16). Dietary SR is recommended as the most appropriate measure of food biodiversity in diets. Adding SR to the minimum cutoff for minimum diet diversity improved the ability to detect diets with higher micronutrient adequacy in women but not in children. Diets with higher nutrient adequacy were mostly obtained when both SR and DDS were maximal. For every additional species consumed, dietary nutrient adequacy increased by 0.03 ( P < 0.001). Compared with Simpson’s index of diversity and functional diversity, species richness (SR) showed stronger associations and better diagnostic properties with micronutrient adequacy. Nine species were consumed in all countries and provided, on average, 61% of total energy intake and a significant contribution of micronutrients in the wet season. A total of 234 different species were consumed, of which <30% were consumed in more than one country. Associations of biodiversity indicators with nutrient adequacy were quantified using multilevel models, receiver operating characteristic curves, and test sensitivity and specificity. Mean adequacies of vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, calcium, iron, and zinc and diet diversity score (DDS) were used to assess diet quality. Data from 24-hour diet recalls (55% in the wet season) of n = 6,226 participants (34% women) in rural areas from seven low- and middle-income countries were analyzed. We applied biodiversity indicators to dietary intake data from and assessed associations with diet quality of women and young children. Available dietary and ecological indicators are not designed to assess the intricate relationship between food biodiversity and diet quality.

If you seriously disagree then this is not the Simpsons site for you. Plenty of people will quibble with the above (some like to separate out Season 1 and/or 2 for example), but in the main it’s what we think. It has no pulse and no intelligence but it just won’t fucking die. Seasons 8-11 – Mayday, Mayday, we’re going down! The sooner it ends the better off we’ll all be.ĭead Homer Society was formed for two reasons:ġ) Create an on-line home for Simpsons fans who outright despise most, if not all, of the double-digit seasons but revere the old ones the way religious types do their stupid books.Ģ) Create a central place for everyone who wants to see the show finally taken off the air.
Today it is a hollow shell, over animated, under thought out, and thoroughly mediocre. The program on Fox that bills itself as "The Simpsons" bears only the faintest resemblance to our favorite television show of all time.
The former group's arguments often boil down to saying that it’s still funnier than 95% of television shows and that if you disagree you’re just being a killjoy. Most Simpsons discussion boards and websites suffer from a never ending tension between people who defend the current incarnation of the show and people who cannot stand it.
