@highlyfavoured The boomer generation also talks a lot about the high cholesterol/unhealthy fats of organ meat long term (including hearts). I haven't verified those claims though. It seems like something to mix with beans or other proteins when dealing with affordability issues instead of...

@ctctw7 I grew up with a lot of this stuff from farm culture. But I was taught that because of the nutritional density that you want to eat smaller amounts and less of the ones that hold so much nutrition. Liver is at the top of that list. It's been forever since I looked into it, but there was...

@tubarri I'm commented on a poverty subreddit that's located in a country (that I do live in mind you) that's experiencing wide spread food insecurity issues for thousands of people. First off, spreading misinformation is always wrong and should be corrected. The reality of the situation is...

@tubarri I can consult my biochemistry and medical selection of textbooks later this week. But when it was taught for my profession it was very clearly stated that the body does not store amino acids for long periods of time, like it does for carbs before turning them into fats for long term...

@tubarri True, but the body doesn't hold onto incomplete proteins for long periods of time. So you don't need to have proteins be complete in the same meal, but if you wait too long between meals the body will metabolize the amino acids that it can't use into energy. Which is fine, it's what...
