Vegan bashing article here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jan/16/vegans-stomach-unpalatable-truth-quinoa
and a nice rebuttal here: http://bearwitnesspictures.blogspot.ca/2012/11/an-open-letter-to-npr-regarding-quinoa.html
Personally, I am too poor to buy quinoa. An equal volume of rice costs me $1.49, compared to $7.99 for quinoa. I also don't like the idea that quinoa is superior because it contains all the essential amino acids and is therefore an excellent substitute for meat. I don't need a meat sub for my protein needs. I don't worry about combining plant foods for complete protein anyway. That kind of thinking was debunked a long time ago.
