  • They can, but it takes a large amount more work to balance for complete amino acid profiles in the diet.

    Meat and eggs are “complete” proteins, which contain all the aminos you need to build muscle. Plant proteins are “incomplete” proteins, which means the amino profile is not complete and missing some amino acids.

    It’s not insurmountable, but some planning is needed to fill in amino gaps in one incomplete protein source with a complementary protein source. Example would be rice and beans tend to be complementary.
















  • This is a fantastic write up of the problems we are facing in the US automotive market. Broken regulations incentivize large trucks/SUV’s, including for electric vehicles.

    Smaller vehicles use less energy. Smaller vehicles cause less road wear. Smaller vehicles are fine for most use cases - but I recognize not all use cases. Smaller vehicles cause less damage in collusions to other cars and pedestrians.

    I’m not saying to take away any options… But let’s stop incentivizing the wasteful and start incentivizing the efficient. I as a consumer would love to see more small car options for selfish reasons. They handle better and are more fun to drive.
