Beans, lentils, chicken, eggs, and frozen veggies are not "garbage food".

The tidbit is that chicken and eggs are not environmentally friendly, while beans tend to require lots of water.

Neither has any D or B12. You need specifically liver or supplements for these. (Fatty fish is even less sustainable for D and not cheap.)

That said you don't need too much methionine so can skimp on complete protein.

Environmental chicken and egg? ;)

Chopped mushrooms readily make vitamin d in sunshine. And they’re a whole food. B12 though is just washed out of the modern food supply.

Are eggs not environmentally friendly?
