My understanding was that this generally improved a lot of indicators of personal and family well-being.

In the same way that the American diet would improve the well being of Eritreans in the first six months after its introduction. Long term results may vary.

Not that I'm particularly familiar with the average Eritrean's diet, but going out on a limb here: are you implying that starvation is better for a person's well being than an overly calorie-rich, generally unhealthy but plentiful diet?
