Huh, I’m eating less meat than I ever have. Shit’s expensive plus stuff like garbanzo beans are surprisingly tasty and protein packed. Plus, it’s way healthier for you.
For me, when I had no money, it was pulses (garbanzos and lentils, mainly), brown rice and fish. I lived in a town with a fishing port, and back then everyone was barely getting by, so prices weren’t bad. But those same sand dabs I used to buy off the boat, cleaned, 4 for a dollar, are nowhere near as cheap now. And there is no fishing fleet there anymore, it’s become a yacht marina.
Anyway I’ve moved on and am living in another country. Here, the low-food-mile, low-cost options are different. And my consumption of red meat is on the order of once a week. I’m not a big fan of chicken, but still have fish when I’m motivated to visit the fishmonger.

Black beans and rice is a good combo, complimentary proteins too!
I think you have to combine it with other foods to get a complete protein.
Pulses plus grains give you the right set of amino acids to make proteins.
Yes, and some meat is necessary to obtain vitamin B12.
why eat animals that have been fed b12 supplements when you can just take the b12 supplements yourself?
