      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.

              Gruel isn’t porridge, it’s thinner. And though it has, on occasion, been made from hempseed, it’s more often made of more commonly available cereals such as wheat, barley, oats, rice or rye. That’s because it was a famine food, made from whatever happened to be available that was edible.
