I'd recommended the Adam Ragusa video on what's happening with food dyes.

I love Adam Ragusea. RFK is a grifting coward who's tickling Trumps balls while Pam Blondie and Cash-App Patel fight over who gets to work the crank the best.

"Why the pushback? Gardner suspects it’s because the panel didn’t explicitly tell Americans to stop eating ultra-processed foods (UPFs). "

Actually somewhat reasonable, at least by Kennedy standards.

Also aren't beans an incomplete protein?

Soy beans are a complete protein.

Most other beans are high in protein (incomplete) and can be used to complement other incomplete protein sources.

Soy beans are a complete protein.

Not if they are cooked

Thanks, didn't know that.

I guess it's also true if they are sprouted which I sometimes do.

Also has to be said that you can totally just eat more beans to make up for the amino acids where beans have a comparatively low amount. You just need to get enough of a supply of each amino acid, and for that purpose, it doesn't matter where those amino acids come from.
Most Western diets contain significantly more protein than is actually necessary either way.

Of course, you still typically want to incorporate other protein sources to get a larger variety of vitamins and whatnot.

The rice/beans pair (fairly common across the world, doubly so here in Latin America) is complete.
