    Do you know what is the ultimate reason why U.S. and UK diets are so rubbish?

    Western women.
    Traditionally, women always made grocery shopping. Women prepared meals. They're making food choices and men passively accept them.
    Young men are rised mostly by moms. Moms teach children what should be eaten.

    Western women today have no f!!cking idea what humans should eat!!!!!
    They actually think, children and husbands should eat:
    donuts, fries, potatoes, pork, candys, cookies, sodas, high fructose corn syrup, chewing gums, popcorn, white bread and 3 beers in front of TV. how many american woman kick their men and say: "here's a bottle of water, let's go out jogging"?

  6. I think what is critical is mixing it up and having variety so you don't get bored. There are beans with higher protein counts, and brown rice is healthier than white...but at the end of the day if you aren't pleased with what you are eating, you will revert back to bad habits. I love mexican rice and seasoned pinto beans...I eat it every other day at least. I also love Rice Pilaf and corn, black eyed peas and green beans (mixed together) with corn on the cob or some boiled red potatoes. I make my own refried beans out of my seasoned pintos and make burritos with pico de gallo or salsa. Black beans and rice with bell peppers and onions. Cajun beans and rice.

    I did a quick Google search and this was the top result for listing protein grams...scroll down for beans. But, I wouldn't get too hung up on exact numbers and instead focus on making things you will like to eat consistently.

    Rice and beans reminds me of my college diet! Good to know its nutritious in addition to it being so cheap!

  9. Are you serious? Vegans eat natural game? That's odd considering the definition of "vegan".

    Do you have any respect for RDA's? The RDA for B12 is 2.4 mcg. Are you seriously suggesting you can get that much on a daily basis from soil contaminated vegetables? You are getting your B12 from fortified food or a vitamin just like every other vegan out there. Fortified food, BTW, is B12 VITAMIN added to a processed food. Every study i know shows vegans have low B12 status at best.

    In addition to B12 vegans may also lack zinc, iron, calcium and essential amino acids that make for a complete protein.

    You are inadequately informed get up to speed.

  10. Yes. I do non GMO sprouted corn tortillas and fat-free refried beans. Lightly fried in a tbsp of grapeseed oil, open-face. Add some Cholula sauce and salt/pepper.
