I wonder where large packages of pressed soy beans/texturized soy/what ever you call it would end up ranking.

Iirc they typically have nearly 50% protein and get pretty affordable the more you buy at once. I think I've seen offers for 5kg at 5€/kg. Which would put them somewhere near the top.

But obviously you won't find 5kg packages in a normal store but only online.

It's so good andso rich. Good Dutch split pea soup contains like three different types of meat. Let it cool in a bowl, flip it, and if you manage to get it out it will retain its shape fully.

And on the side we tend to eat rye bread topped with bacon...

Granted there are vegetarian options nowadays. But TIL those will still be protein rich thanks to the peas!

Funfact: Yellow peasoup is what made the Swedish armies able to do mobile warfare against russia and the catholics during the 30year war. Every third Swedish male died in the wars, but ever since (over 200 years) the Swedish military has always served yellow-peasoup on Thursdays. As well as pancakes in later centuries.

I’d like to see an amino acids profile metric. Foods that contain all nine essential amino acids tend to be animal protein.

You can get them all from a vegan diet, but you’ll be eating considerably more and thus spending more.

I will for the 900th time state my opinion that neither vegan or animal inclusive diets are the solution to mitigating our food consumption energy impact; getting people to only eat what they need is; people tend to consume far more calories in a day than they need and most of them aren’t even aware of this.

But hey, pretending that you’re having a positive impact is fun.

Edit: Holy hell. Alright, I’m just gonna stick to my 1000cal-less-than-the-avg-American-diet (remember kids, calories are energy, and that energy comes from somewhere) and leave you all to your totally helpful virtual soap boxes.
