Well if it makes pork cheaper in the US, at least we’ll have one cheap affordable protein, cause chicken keep rising and beef is turning hamburger helper in to fancy food for special occasions.
No they aren’t. Mostly because legumes are incomplete proteins, while chicken is a complete protein, and that animal protein is more easily digestible and absorbed than plant based protein.
Claiming legumes is the best protein is one of those lies that vegans claim. There’s plenty of real reasons to go animal free, but all the baseless crap that vegans claim isn’t doing them any favors.
Here’s a fact, though. All the fields with beans and lettuce and all the veggies have thousands of little mice and birds and rabbits that live in them. Thousands are killed from the farm equipment.
Hempseed is a complete protein. That’s what Scrooge was eating in A Christmas Carol. Mostly because it was the absolute cheapest thing he could eat that would barely meet all his needed nutrients. Apparently gruel is hempseed porridge.
Beans and rice together make a complete protein. And it’s plenty easy to digest them if you try - one good way to make it easy is to cook your rice and beans prior to eating them.
That doesn’t mean its any more or less healthy. There are hundreds of millions of vegetarians. And there are maybe a few thousand manosphere influenced carnivores. Guess which population is actually going to be healthy for the long term.
The ones who exercise and don’t overconsume calories. That vegans live longer is a biased mislead because people who become vegans are on average more health conscious people. When pitted against health conscious people who also eat meat, that vegan advantage completely disappears.
Also, while biased due to the low percentage of vegans that exist, the vast majority of the world’s centenarions do consume eating some meat, and no data currently shows that vegans on average live longer. The biggest factors are genetics, lifestyle, activity, etc.
I eat a very healthy diet and it consists of a pretty large amount of meats. I track macros, exercise, and get a physical every year. All my bloodwork is good, heart is healthy, BP runs 115/70, and spirometry test puts me at having lungs of a person 20 years younger than my age. I’m also in my 40’s but look like I’m under 35.
Yes, I’m just one person, so that’s nowhere close to a good data point for a study, but it still goes to show you that eating like a vegetarian is absolutely not a requirement to be “more healthy”. There’s also no data to back up your claims that meat as a blanket claim isn’t healthy. It’s one of the healthiest things there is for people to eat. It gets unhealthy when you do things like bread and deep-fry it before covering it in a corn syrup sauce and washing it down with a 40 ounce mountain dew.

Prediction: the price of meat will continue to rise and will never be this cheap again
Legumes are the best protein

And it grows you a lil muffintop
I don’t mean physically eating them or shitting them out. Humans absorb and use animal based protein more than plant based protein.

I wasn’t even talking about vegans. Just vegetarians. Heck, even just cutting your meat consumption down is a huge step toward a more healthy diet.
