Geez, I hope they're paying you to suck their dick this hard

Two grams of protein per pound of bodyweight is way overkill and there is zero evidence it helps anything. Even for people doing rigorous strength training, muscle gains cap out at 0.8-1g. If you're not in the gym lifting heavy six days a week you don't need more than 0.4.

It's fine for the first time, as long as it's followed up with the threat of an indefinite strike

I assure you these people are not eating healthy meals lol, it's all bad faith because the idea of them not eating meat makes them feel threatened about the size of their peepee.

That's got very little to do with my comment. Obviously, you (as in you personally) can eat whatever you please, but if you make biological claims about it you ought to back them up with evidence.

What does "as intended" mean? You mention bread and pasta in an earlier comment; do you understand that flour is also a processed ingredient? And that baking is a means of processing food? Oil can be as simple as just being squeezed out of whole seeds or fruit, that's no more processing than grinding, cooking, or peeling something.

At least you write really well, so you've got that going for you. I do get that things which involve that much prep don't work for everyone's lifestyle, I guess it's the upside of being pretty boring and living in a country where I don't have any friends that I can make it work for me.

Everyone's different I guess, but I don't think of one day before as "way in advance". Plain boiled beans freeze really well so I just do that if I've already made them but my plans change.

Nobody just drinks oil by itself. We typically combine it with foods with very little fat, e.g. as salad dressing. Oil adds flavour, increases satiety and doesn't spike blood sugar. It is a perfectly fine ingredient.

There is absolutely no evidence that we "aren't very capable of processing" oil. Eating whole foods is good. Oil is fine.

What's the problem with soaking beans the night before?
