200g of spinach sounds like a very reasonable amount for a single meal. I don't see the problem here.

I've had the opposite experience myself. Protein shakes keep me full for about as long as water. Protein rich whole foods are much more satiating for the same quantity of protein.

It's still a thing, but it's a multigenerational process.

I'm pretty sure credit card companies already take care of preventing and reversing fraudulent transactions free of charge.

It doesn't matter if they actually absorb water or not. Just try the mushrooms side by side, washed and unwashed. Decide based on what you prefer.

I've never had a problem with this, raw or cooked. The insides of my washed mushrooms are always dry.

But just not as much from some types as others

Yeah, and that's exactly what we're talking about in the context of protein completeness.

If you are already regulating what you eat and praying a lot of attention to the nutritional value or the calorie count [...]

The context of this comment chain is bodybuilding, so it applies for the majority of this population. But you're right that for the general population, you don't need to concern yourself with any of this as long as you have a varied diet. I'd still encourage everyone to have lots of rice and beans though because that shit's delicious.

Ah, I see. Though I would call this manipulative, not dishonest.

entities that seems honest are the most secretly dishonest

It's the converse. By definition, dishonest entities (that are good at what they do) will appear honest.


Definitions aside, let's go back to my original argument. To rephrase it a bit: A transparently manipulative entity is better than a deceptive and manipulative entity. So why protest the added transparency and not the manipulation?

I think I'm missing an important part of your argument here. What are they doing that you consider to be dishonest?

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

IIRC, his point was just that it doesn't have to be in one meal. Your diet as a whole still needs all the amino acids.

The rest of people are already working these mandatory jobs.

Same type of work, sure, but the fruits of their labour are going towards shareholders. The point of public work is that it's for the public good.

Yeah, it's dry weight. I just checked the labels on my beans at home. They all approximately 7g protein per 35g beans (i.e. 20g protein per 100g beans).
