I can't eat that many carbs in a day. All the money I save on food would be spent on toilet paper.

Are split peas and chickpeas not beans?

[–] ericbomb@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

You're not wrong! But I felt like some people wouldn't think of split peas, and wanted to call out more than just "beans"

Only slightly related. One weird thing I noticed when moving to Japan is that peanuts and beans were way more expensive than the US. I guess the equivalent here would be moyashi (bean sprouts) and cabbage.

Interesting! What is considered the cheap source of proteins over there? Is it just soy?

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 5 points 7 months ago

soy (in the form of edamame, tofu, and natto) is probably the cheapest option. Eggs are usually next on the list for people over here.

Edit: seafood might or might not be an option before eggs depending upon where one lives. Organ meat as well as we eat heart, liver, etc. a lot here as well.

Both are good advice

Read Marx, especially if you don't think you need to.
