Isaac Bashevis Singer
What do they know-all these scholars, all these philosophers, all the leaders of the world - about such as you? They have convinced themselves that man, the worst transgressor of all the species, is the crown of creation.

Protein Deficiency
Protein deficiency rarely occurs as an isolated condition. It usually accompanies a deficiency of dietary energy and other nutrients resulting from insufficient food intake.
Deficiency of this severity is very rare in the United States, except as a consequence of pathologic conditions.
The symptoms are most commonly seen in deprived children in poor countries:
- stunting,
- poor musculature,
- edema,
- thin and fragile hair,
- skin lesions
- hormonal imbalances.
Edema and loss of muscle mass and hair are the prominent signs in adults.
