2 things: - everyone is different - there are plenty of low-carb, high-protein vegetarian sources (see: tofu)
Yes, you are right - I left out highly processed foods (tofu, seitan, etc) because I don't think they are healthy.

Sorry just can’t take that comparison seriously.
Feel free to interpret chocolate cake as a metanym for a rich, filling food, I didn't mean to say they were similar in any regard other than that. If cake is an unhelpful comparison for you for whatever reason, disregard it, it's not important.

Nah it’s like when an American goes to Europe and then comes back and won’t shut up about how American bread is so sweet. I just can’t take it seriously. No offense to you personally.

Sorry, but lentils are pretty much the closest thing to a single food that meets all of a human's nutritional needs in existence. If you pair lentils with a small amount of spinach and eggs that gets you there. Your comments about what "people" were designed to eat also sounds pretty ignorant, since we're not genetically homogenous for starters. Most humans of European descent have evolved for seasonal carbohydrate c…
>Your comments about what "people" were designed to eat also sounds pretty ignorant, since we're not genetically homogenous for starters. ... Source for this? I don't doubt that there are groups with genetic adaptations to food (eg. genes for lactase persistence), but I'm not aware of anything for carbs.

#257All of the people who are saying they'd never eat it and will stick with their beef/chicken/pork are the same kind that said hell no to EVs. They'll die out and the world will adapt to a changing food economy just as we did with the changing fuel economy.
A ten year old Tesla Model S is superior to my car in every way except for cost and range. It's literally a better product.
There is nothing that even comes close to the nutrition and taste of chicken/beef/pork/lamb etc in the plant world.

Re: Is algae the new kale?
#259I was looking into algea/spirulina for B12, but found some sources indicating it is not a bioavailable form of B12, and also prevents real B12 from being absorbed. I'd be interested to know any counter research to this. > almost all algae revealed vitamin B12 analogues instead of the real thing. Analogues are not only ineffective, but also potentially dangerous. Most researchers have consequently dismissed algae as a…
Isn't the recommended B12 dosage per day like 4 micrograms? Less than 1.5 milligrams in a year. Looking at the cost of Cyanocobalamin, it appears to be around $1000/kg. https://www.pharmacompass.com/active-pharmaceutical-ingredie... Complete B12 supplementation is going to set you back literally 0.1 cents per year. All B12 you'll ever take in your whole life is not even worth 10 measly cents. Just some supplement for…

What's the bad news?
It's a dramatic way of stating that lobster and crab are members of the phylum Arthropoda , which also includes scorpions, centipedes, and butterflies.
