You don't need to eat "high protein food" to get adequate protein.
Let's say an 80 kg moderately active man needs to eat 2600 kcal/day to maintain body weight. According to current guidelines, that man needs about 0.8g/kg of protein per day, or 64 grams per day.
White bread has about 2.6 grams of protein per 77 kcal.
https://tools.myfooddata.com/nutrition-facts/174924/wt1
You have: 2600 kcal / (77 kcal / 2.6 grams)
You want: grams
* 87.792208
/ 0.011390533
That works out to about 88 grams of protein per day eating nothing except white bread.
It's difficult to not get enough protein unless you're eating too few calories overall.
Trump is a fraudster, rapist, thief, and traitor. He is a criminal of the basest sort.
It's a mistake to put them in the same category. It's a matter of kind, not a matter of degree.
You realize the courses don't stop at basic, right?
It is well-established that immigration (legal and otherwise) is good for the economy overall. Skilled immigrants are good for US businesses.
https://kentclarkcenter.org/surveys/permanent-residency-rule...
Immigrants start businesses at twice the rate of native-born Americans.
https://www.congress.gov/118/meeting/house/116727/documents/... (page 1, though the citation has gone down the memory hole)
Some immigrants are complementary to native-born American workers rather than being in competition.
https://www.stlouisfed.org/publications/page-one-economics/2...
Immigrants spend money and grow the market for goods produced by native-born Americans.
All these things are good for domestic labor. There is no reason to believe immigration is bad for American workers. Not everything is zero-sum, and that's basic economics.
The machine?
Prove it.
>They steadily talked themselves into believing what they wanted to believe from the start, while ignoring all the facts that would point in the other direction.
They stated early on what reasons they had to believe it came from a lab and what evidence would disprove that, then got exactly the evidence that they previously said would disprove it. The unusual features of the virus are found in nature. The evidence that it was a lab leak is then reduced to "it was kind of near a lab", which is pretty wimpy.
>Of course they claimed it couldn't have been them, who wants to get the blame for COVID?
So why did the virologists in question called out their colleagues for unscientifically circling the wagons and, in their published work, explicitly decline to rule out the lab leak hypothesis?
You cannot point out any bad behavior in their publications or internal communications, so you resort to innuendo.
>it emerged right next to the only lab in the world doing experiments on coronaviruses
Lots of labs are doing gain-of-function research on coronaviruses. The "lion's share" is done in the United States. The Wuhan lab was unusually large, granted.

I am not a lawyer, but I find it hard to believe this statement meets that bar.
Eh. If you're an American, maybe. They're a real outlier and it seems like bro science to me.
Canada recommends 0.8g/kg/day.

A diet put together by Lancet and friends comes out to 82g/10MG, which works out to 1.11 g/kg for an 80 kg man who eats 2600 kcal/day. So their recommendation is obviously below that, and therefore not 50% higher than 0.8g/kg/day.
https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Content-of-macronutrient...
The UK recommends about 55g/day for men and 45g/day for women, which is under 0.8 g/kg.

Australia recommends about 0.8 g/kg/day.
https://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/nutrient-reference-values/nu...
France recommends 0.83 g/kg/day (section 2.2.1)

Some of those guidelines are old (if that matters), but some of them aren't. The EAT-Lancet diet was designed quite recently.
Even if the American numbers are right, just swap the white bread for whole wheat bread and you'll hit the target. It remains dead easy to get adequate protein no matter what guidelines you use.
