Yeah I definitely get that, especially coming from someone who was almost as picky as the people I described for all of my childhood up to early adulthood. I suspect I'm on the spectrum and cannot will myself to eat just about any beans aside from soy and chickpeas because of the texture but am still capable of eating a plant based diet. Obviously my experiences aren't encompassing of all ND experience with food aversions, and everyone should approach their diet with what they are able to change.

This topic wasn't brought up by JT and is legitimately the one I give the most slack to in adjusting diets. The excuse from him was that people couldn't afford meat replacements which is hogwash. Any cheap meat will be infinitely worse for you than beans/lentils/vegetables of equal cost and not go as far in portions.
