They other comments at the link above were discussing meat. Actually, some bodies may require it more than others, though I agree with the comments about industrial meat--bad for everyone. However, it is better to phrase this as acid/alkaline issues and biochemical individuality issues:
The Acid Alkaline Balance Diet : An Innovative Program for Ridding Your Body of Acidic Wastes by Felicia Drury Kliment (Paperback)

The Nutrition Solution: A Guide to Your Metabolic Type
by Harold J., D.D.S. Kristal, James M., N.C. Haig, John R. Lee

and, remember, biochemical individuality over ideological dogma in your diet. Make sure it suits YOU instead of an ideology:

at least read reviews, very informative three books here. I should know. I poured through a lot of crap to find these diamonds in the rough.
And if you take this a bit further, then you may be wondering then that all this idea about state general standards about nutrition, because they assume equitable nutrituional requiremnets, are all incredibly wrong. If anything at the very least nutritional requirements on the back of packages should have Type I or Type II recommendations side by side instead of the pretention that everyone will get healthy eating the same things.
What use it is to attempt to escape from the commodification of your food, if you only fall into the commodification driven recommendations of a diet(TM)? ;-) Learn about yourself first, then find what it takes for you.
