It works both ways: "Yeah, let me eat 100kg of beef per day instead of 500g of broccoli to get my Vitamin C."

But anyway, legumes are much more efficient source of protein than beef. I don't understand why you decided to compare against broccoli.

Maybe we should eat both then.

Sorry, let me eat 1.8kg of lentils instead. The point I was making is that there is a need for both.

Okay but what are you eating after your weekly allowance of 500g red meat to avoid needlessly increasing your bowel cancer risk?

Nothing, like the 10s of generations before me.

Why not switch to 500g of dog meat?

Dog meat isn't available here, and where it is available in countries such as China and Vietnam, they are readily tortured and boiled alive to make the meat 'taste better'. No thanks.

It is for the same reason I do not eat pork.
