Aside from nutritional value it’s not really feasible for the whole world to only eat potatoes, beans and a bit of green stuff. They will not grow everywhere in sufficient quantities.
Be noted that I am not advocating eating meat is necessary or healthy the way we do it currently. I was just explaining that you did not read the article carefully.
That article is dangerous. For one specific reason: It lists what potatoes lack, but that list is incomplete, which is worse than listing no details at all. A healthy adult will have enough e.g. B12 reserves to easily last those two months without real adverse effects but a kid would already be in malnutrition.
You are already aware of my counter argument, great. Also it’s for 60 days only and a publicity stunt. That’s not really shattering my knowledge about nutrition.
Why? https://xkcd.com/386/
You know other people might read this and think they can live and prosper only with potatoes and beans. And to be honest, that’s not good advice, which I assume you also don’t live by.
You can assure me how?

Have a look at e.g. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-11864290. That was only a fun self-experiment, and not a scientific study at all, of course.
But who was mentioning the population of the whole world? This is a channel about Europe, linking an article about Europe.

So you’re saying for Europe is possible?

Why are you so confrontational, dude? The sun is hot today, so we should be mellow.
Men’s health. Naw.

But I agree, let’s chill, it’s really too hot.
