If the samples are TRULY random and not within a specific culture/society I doubt we need that. But whether it is is another question.

This is a self-report survey about historical diet. It's basically meaningless regardless. People that think they're healthy will report that they ate a lot of foods they currently think are healthy, not what they actually ate. This is true even if people are asked days later, much less years.
Even if the sample is truly random, this is not a controlled study and there are correlated behaviour.
