    Certainly interesting, but I feel like the X-axis needs to somehow account for all the valuable qualities of the food. If we’re wanting to compare meats and meat alternatives, that means at least protein, iron, and energy, not just protein.

      Eh iron isn’t very meaningfull. Most beans and lentils and stuff are pretty rich in it. Anemia is usually caused by bleeding or iron malabsorption over diet. Stuff like eating cheese with meals inhibits iron absorption because of calcium amounts.

      kJ are but mostly because meats and seeds are very fatty which for everyone not starving makes them even worse sources.
