  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Best source in what way? Eggs are the most biovailable source of protein, but soy is very close and has cardiovascular benefits as well.

Beans and mushrooms in general are very good because they help regulate blood sugar over time due to changes in the gut microbiome.

There is not really a best source of protein. The first thing that will guide your choices is your own preferences and that includes ethics and morals. Then you look at what is available and what’s your goal. Such as if you’re wanting to increase your healthy fat consumption you’ll want nuts in your diet at a higher concentration than someone trying to reduce the amount of fat they are consuming.

As already mentioned if you eat a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and beans and toss in some fortified foods you’ll be ok. Try to eat some raw stuff such as apples or bananas and not just cooked food. Try to eat more foods in their whole form versus box store processed foods. It’s ok to add in veggie burgers and so on. But don’t make junk food your staple.

with that said often the best source of protein is protein powder.

That's more or less what I eat. Less fat is good if you are trying to lose body fat, but you don't want to go too low, as many high fat foods, like nuts and seeds can have other health benefits. Even soy can be relatively high in fat compared to other beans, so you need to eat a variety of different foods.
