@blindly28 The most baffling thing is that they don't even understand what the different food groups are if you try to explain it to them. Like they don't even understand that seasoning is made from plants. To explain nutrition to them even a little bit would require starting from the very...

@blindly28 IRL all I've ever really been asked is "what do you eat?" and "how do you get protein?". Most people, at least in my area(midwest USA) have absolutely no clue about nutrition, so the topic of nutrition really doesn't come up. They just don't understand what I eat to satiate myself...

@jszy04 Quinoa with beans or lentils and tofu or tempeh is one of my favorite ways to get protein without adding any highly processed foods.

@emmelia I mean honestly most people are eating mcdonalds and doritos and snack cakes for their dietary staples and still stringing it along thanks to modern medicine at least to age 60 or so, you've got them beat by miles and miles. If this is your "base diet" and you're adding other foods in...

@ichthymom Nothing to worry about really. IIRC he's saying more than 5 servings of soy per day increases inflammation, but if you're lifting you want the inflamation for optimal muscle growth, so who cares? Dr. Greger is a cool guy but following his word to the letter isn't necessary. He's just...

@valentinusheretic Always good to take a second pass just to be sure ;)

@kirkhaggerty Yes, I am very motivated to prove people wrong about veganism.
