Yeah I definitely get that, especially coming from someone who was almost as picky as the people I described for all of my childhood up to early adulthood. I suspect I'm on the spectrum and cannot will myself to eat just about any beans aside from soy and chickpeas because of the texture but am still capable of eating a plant based diet. Obviously my experiences aren't encompassing of all ND experience with food aversions, and everyone should approach their diet with what they are able to change.

This topic wasn't brought up by JT and is legitimately the one I give the most slack to in adjusting diets. The excuse from him was that people couldn't afford meat replacements which is hogwash. Any cheap meat will be infinitely worse for you than beans/lentils/vegetables of equal cost and not go as far in portions.

Yeah meat is pretty expensive where I am from, yet my mother still cooks it 5/7 days a week (probably due to my pickiness as a kid, but we have pretty bad eating habits in general)

Agreed, it seems impossible for the average American to feel a meal is complete without some portion of meat included.

She's European but that probably applies to the whole core

I think it was Liz on a recent TA episode that said the Internet has exported and Americanized all western cultures which makes a lot of sense

That and many people starved during the Nazi occupation (I'm Greek), which caused most people of the time to stuff their kids afterwards (and grandkids)

Hadn't considered that, but it's makes sense. Probably similar treatment Gen x and boomers had with great depression parents

i think people eat meat in a lot more than the imperial core
