      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.

        Beans and rice together make a complete protein. And it’s plenty easy to digest them if you try - one good way to make it easy is to cook your rice and beans prior to eating them.

          I don’t mean physically eating them or shitting them out. Humans absorb and use animal based protein more than plant based protein.

            That doesn’t mean its any more or less healthy. There are hundreds of millions of vegetarians. And there are maybe a few thousand manosphere influenced carnivores. Guess which population is actually going to be healthy for the long term.

              The ones who exercise and don’t overconsume calories. That vegans live longer is a biased mislead because people who become vegans are on average more health conscious people. When pitted against health conscious people who also eat meat, that vegan advantage completely disappears.

              Also, while biased due to the low percentage of vegans that exist, the vast majority of the world’s centenarions do consume eating some meat, and no data currently shows that vegans on average live longer. The biggest factors are genetics, lifestyle, activity, etc.
