Article is good but with one puzzling flaw. They mention protein is one of the culprits, but nothing about why or how.

They don't say that. They say the 5P diet is unhealthy and the Mediterranean diet is healthy. But the Mediterranean diet contains the 5 P's too -- just in moderation and accompanied by lots of vegetables. So the 5 P's aren't necessarily unhealthy by themselves, but a diet that basically only has the 5P's is.

Yes, something tells me there’s a lot of deli and processed meats involved.
