There are several diseases that afflict people in the third world who are unable to get enough protein in their diet. One is called Marasmus, and this kind of protein deficiency often leads to starvation and death. Another similar disease is called Kwashiorkor; it is caused by a protein-deficient diet in countries where the most widely available foods contain mainly carbohydrates--foods such as yams, rice and bananas.
