There actually are quite a few. A huge amount of vegan food is highly processed trash, and things like onion rings are vegan.

The scrawny grey vegan comes from the fact that if you do eat mostly plants and don't pile on things like oils it's very difficult to get both high protein and balanced nutrition while also getting a good amount of calories, so they end up looking malnourished. This could mostly be corrected with some resistance training and a daily vegan blend protein powder with some oils in the foods though.

Not by weight, by calorie. Plus I'm not sure that's true. It doesn't have nearly any carbs and will usually have near even grams of fat to protein, like 5g of fat and 6g of protein. Since there are 9 calories per gram of fat and 4 calories per gram of protein that means of the about 70 calories 35% of them are protein.

But yes, an egg will have 6-8g of protein so to get 100g you'd need to eat over a dozen.

Too much isn't bad until you get to about 100 times what it is now. If too little is bad and too much is bad, what is the ideal amount? I'd argue it's somewhere in the 1000-2000ppm level for ideal plant growth and largest land areas being the most productive. Why is it never studied that way, do you think?
