It’s worth it for anyone to read the article. Plenty of circumstances that could lead to deficiency.

I think the “varied diet” usually means Americans get enough through non-home use iodized salt (like processed/restaurant foods). As the article says, seafood (plant or not) and dairy are good iodine sources, if you consume them.

Seafood yes, dairy only because the cow's feed is supplemented. Free range grass fed cows will have low iodine content in milk.
