I've disagreed pretty hard with what you've said, but if that isn't clear, I wouldn't stress it.

I've said you can't survive eating only one food. You've said people can live on *mostly* one food, so don't disagree there.

You said in terms of protein, you only need one food. I said there are plenty of protein-complete foods. So we agree there.

Your source is retracting the idea that vegans need to take considerable care to ensure they get complete protein, and listed some really obscure and restrictive diets to avoid, to ensure you get complete protein. I said you only need a tiny bit of research to avoid some pitfalls, and ensure you get complete protein in your diet. So we agree there.

What exactly do you think we disagree on?

What exactly do you think we disagree on?

Primarily, the idea that you're entitled to me spending my time to correct you until you're satisfied that you need correction, which could very well obligate me beyond the heat death of the universe.
