    Exactly! We can’t blame these companies and then buy their stuff and deflect all responsibility.

    It’s sort of a cycle that runs on apathy, ignorance, and lack of empathy.

    Powerful groups manipulate and coerce people and markets

    Manipulated, coerced people buy more of what they are pushed to

    Consumer votes in leaders that support this exploitative cycle making laws facilitating companies manipulating and coercing their behavior

    We need to break out of this cycle by conscientiously rejecting this manipulation, buying less, voting, running for office, etc. (i.e. degrowth)

    Pretty sure it kinda does, maybe not the same meal but within a day or so.

    Your body doesn’t have a way to store incomplete proteins for later construction when the missing essential aminos arrive. Any aminos from proteins that can’t be used to build needed proteins will be turned into glucose, and if you don’t need the glucose turned into fat for energy storage.

    Think of proteins like long words you have to spell by eating the right letters. If you don’t have the letters to spell a word it can’t be spelled. Your body has the ability to create some letters but some must be eaten. If you don’t eat the needed letters your body will make do by eating itself (normal autophagy), which is fine on occasion for periods, but your body needs complete proteins.

    Adding: You’re right about a varied diet being easy enough for most to get the aminos they need. Many vegan/vegetarian dishes are oriented around complete proteins, eat these common dishes, the thinking about complete proteins was done for you long ago.

    True but people need to know to look to the documentation, it’s not something we’re born with. People learn to ride a bike, to drive a car, use their TV, etc without reading much documentation. We should educate people on how to figure things out rather than shame them for not knowing as much as you.

    Don’t assume everyone can learn as easily as you can or has a background that would facilitate their grasping of the topic. Here you are casually saying “just read the man page” and referencing gcc, it would take my mom a week of education to get to the point where she’d be able to understand what gcc even is and why it has a man page.

    And if you don’t want to help them, ignore the noobs, don’t push them away.
