Maybe, but I don't think it is from eating vegetables. If humans started growing crops they stopped traveling. This could have hurt genetic diversity since they were confined to an area. A smaller gene pool, perhaps some inbreeding... I am just glad we don't look like the penguin from Batman. -Drew F Agriculture is to blame…? Maybe, but I don’t think it is from eating vegetables.

The Weston A Price organization points you to his findings. His studies have been around for quite some time. Nutritional deficiency is in fact the cause of this problem. von Cramon-Taubadel might want to check the findings of Weston A Price a dentist who traveled extensively studying why teeth were malformed like this in our modern societies but not in all cultures.
