Trump's TAINTED Beef

Deadly Donald Trump and the Epstein Regime are Hell bent on importing and forcing diseases beef from Argentina on us so they can further ingratiate themselves to the place they plan to flee when they're done fleecing America. Bump that.

I wanted to write an article for my Bluesky and BT&DW friends about protein alternatives to meat, so I turned to my bestie, Martha Stewart. Because I trust Martha and I love me some Martha.

Martha Stewart recommends several excellent non-meat protein alternatives, including lentils, beans, quinoa, edamame, and tofu. These plant-based options are not only rich in protein but also provide additional health benefits like fiber and essential nutrients.

From a Martha Stewart online article that's discussing great alternatives to eggs for protein rich foods, she starts with nuts. Nuts, right?  They provide about 7 grams of protein for every 1/4 cup according to Stacy Cleveland, MS, RDN, LD, registered dietitian at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Nuts also offer essential nutrients, including unsaturated ("good") fats, fiber, magnesium, and zinc. For the healthiest option, choose plain nuts without added salt or sugar. You can always roast and flavor nuts at home, which will allow you to control the ingredients.

An unexpected food with more protein than eggs is guava, a sweet tropical fruit. It offers an impressive 8 grams of protein per 2 cups, according to Susan Greeley, MS, RDN, registered dietitian and instructor of plant-based culinary arts at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City. Additionally, guava (like most fruits) contains fiber, making it a delicious option for balancing blood sugar, per Greeley. Excellent choice for diabetics, it sounds like. I personally always try to balance sugar/carbs with fiber and protein.

Beans are cheaper and higher in protein than eggs or beef. For example, ½ cup of black beans contains 8 grams of protein. Beans are also rich in fiber, a key nutrient for that helps you feel fuller, and aids digestion and gut health. As an added bonus both dried and canned beans last longer than eggs or beef, making them a shelf-stable alternative good to stock up on and keep on hand.

It's too fancy for me, but one cup of cooked quinoa has approximately 8 grams of protein, according to data from the USDA. The whole grain also provides gut-friendly fiber, folate, and magnesium, according to the experts at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. I've read it can be prepared like and used instead of oats and even rice.

Fuel up on protein, calcium, and probiotics with Greek yogurt. Depending on the brand, a single 5-ounce package offers 11 to 15 grams of protein, making it a great snack or complement to a meal. Choose yogurt that is low in added sugar (less than 8 grams) for the healthiest choice. You can also include it in recipes for added boosts of protein.

And now one of my personal faves, cottage cheese. Not only does it offer 15 grams of protein per ½ cup, but it's also a great source of calcium, potassium, phosphorous, and vitamin B2. Who knew?

I'm no fan of supporting farmers for Trump by buying their crap but nother food with more protein than eggs is edamame, or young soybeans. With just ½ cup you'll get 19 grams of protein, according to data from the USDA. Edamame also contains omega-3 fatty acids, per Greeley. These fats help manage blood cholesterol and reduce inflammation, making them vital for overall health. Well, with the omega-3 I might want to consider skipping this one just because of those great health benefits.

Canned tuna and chicken breast come in next on Martha's recommendation list. See the article with great suggestions for serving canned tuna on this site with quick, easy recipe ideas. I got a six pack of canned chicken from Costco, their Kirkland brand, chunk white chicken, that was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

A top choice for high-protein foods is tempeh. One cup offers 34 grams of protein, per the experts at the USDA. Made of fermented soybeans, tempeh also provides probiotics and supports gut health. Furthermore, tempeh is high in fiber, calcium, and iron. Fermented anything sounds gross to me and is a personal no, but to each their own.

And there you have it! Alternatives to Trump's tainted beef, many with extra health benefits that make them even better choices anyway. Eat up! Other ideas? Recipes with beef alternatives to share? Hit the comments!
