Why are there three shades of blue and only two shades of red?

It does look miserable but if the bus stop was before the landing then would it not prevent cars trying to take the turn before the island?

In Sesotho, "how are you?" is "ho joang?" which gets shortened to "hj"

Is it any different from the existing vegan community?

Yours and other comments have been insightful and have made me reconsider some assumptions I did not realize I had made, so thank you.

I'll concede that a sedentary person of normal weight doesn't need to worry much about getting all their essential amino acids. If I was interested in gaining muscle on a plant-based diet, would you say that I would still be wasting energy by stressing about eating all the proteins? Wouldn't that make my only issue getting the right amount of calories?

I'll look for some literature when I have the time but if you have any off-hand knowledge you could share then I would appreciate it.

I'm not sure what the implication of living in a developed country is. People can have vastly different diets in developed countries and people may have different protein needs. Just because you live in a developed country doesn't make you immune to malnutrition.

Thanks for the link! Neat video, and I'll make a note to skim the sources for the video. Honestly I'm happy to be wrong on this as the issue of getting enough protein for gaining muscle has made me reconsider my diet a lot in the past.

Great post!

I wanted to add that this isn't quite how proteins work. Those protein-rich legumes aren't what you would call 'complete proteins.' There's a number of amino acids our bodies use as proteins and while legumes are a good source of many of them, there's a couple proteins you won't get enough of from just the beans. Fortunately, brown rice- while not as rich in protein- gives you the proteins that the beans are lacking. That's why beans and rice are a match made in heaven.

Herbivorous animals are just better at metabolising proteins from plants and of course they're capable of eating much more than us. That's why they're able to live off of grass.

This just stuff I read up on a few years ago so if I've gotten something wrong please say so

You might notice Pork Belly and Ribeye Steak belong way higher than the red dots representing them. In your proposition, I don't think there exists an elegant way to represent those data points.
