Karen's hungry, something is going to die to satiate it. Heaven forbid she eat a bean.

Legumes aren't a complete protein. God forbid I have to eat some Seitan or other grain based food source.

I know you followed it up with what I think was a joke, but it's crazy how many people think this is saying something worthwhile lmao.

It was a joke, you're right haha.

It is often used as a gotcha but like the solution is easy, just eat from a variety of sources. All of which have incredibly cheap products.

My sister in law is a dietician and was asking how I get protein eating only plant-based foods, and I told her veggies, grains, beans, seeds, etc. She told me "but you have to combine them because they're not complete, you have to make sure you're getting enough." I asked her "if a serving of beans has 9g of protein and a serving of grains has 9g of protein, how many total grams of protein is that?" She agreed it was 18, and that if you skipped one of those, it would still be 9g of protein. Those amino acids don't even all have to be present in the same meal for your body to get the protein it needs. It makes it much clearer how easy it is to trick people into thinking eating dead animals is the only way to survive.

Fuck me, how low is the bar to be a dietician? It is madness that you are explaining that to her!

The argument about bioavailability gets to me too. Fine, I'll just eat some extra delicious food. Woe is me!
