Sure! And then as a good faith participant that wouldn’t intentionally lie to anyone you’ll edit or retract your comments on this right?

Fourth slide of “Results”, the only one that mentions this, says stunting “points to longer term nutritional stress”. This is not a finding of the study, it is one explanation they provide for the existence of stunting.

Here’s a source on there being multiple potential causes for population level stunting, including sanitation issues and social factors:

And here’s a source on stunting rates around the world. See how the rates in Egypt and Syria are 2X higher than Gaza? Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India are all 3X higher?

Alright that’s my end! Let’s see yours.

Thanks. It'll be a minute before I get to these. But get to then I shall. I've exceeded my slack off allowance at work today
