Yet another example of this crazy man's unchecked and inaccurate assertions making it on to the poor old Mudcat pages.

I think the phrase that triggered that conceit was "based on the pH"

The food of flamingos &/or abundance therewith would certainly depend on the pH. And a neutral pH is still a pH.

As ever - once you start to get pedantic, do please engage brain. Pedantry begets pedantry.

Cue snarky narcissistry.
