kek jacob was NOT cooking pork stew. and the lentils he made were the red ones, not the ones in your pic (edsons?)
and you are forgetting from the daniel story that what daniel and his 3 friends ate made them healthier than the porkfed babylonians.
but i do agree that lentils are great and more people should eat them. they are much faster than beans too.
humans need about 3-5% of their diet to come from protein. if you are getting enough calories you are getting enough protein. it is almost impossible to be protein deficient if you get enough calories.
the reason everyone is obsessed with protein is because it's what bodybuilders pretend makes them huge instead of needles full of drugs. excess protein is really hard on the liver and kidneys, and can cause acidic conditions that lead to arthritis and bone loss, as bone minerals are sacrificed by the body to regulate ph.
to illustrate, the ira members that died from hunger strike died from low body fat, not low protein. protein is only needed to replace and repair tissues, make hair and fingernails, that type of thing.
you should also know that the rda's are set up so that all but the most extreme of the extreme outliers are going to be getting more than they need if they get the rda. so rda's are overestimates in almost every case.
