Cognitive dissonance overload 🤯
I'm not equipped to have the argument, nor really trying to defend eating meat, but am curious if it's the case that these plant antinutrients exist in vegetables and fruits, or just in leaves and the like. It seems unlikely they'd exist in the seed-baring parts of plants, since those are meant to be consumed.

Sorry 😆 here some answers:
Antinutrients you can find mostly in leaves, Seeds, husk, roots, bark.
Like oxalates, phytic acid, lectins, tannins, saponins, etc.
If you soak seeds 12 to 48 hours before eating, the antinutrients decrease and so they are way better digestible.
For ex. eating sprouts, let grains germinate and then ferment them (sour dough is better digestible as industrial wheat bread, cause it’s given the time needed to decrease antinutrients and the bacteria during fermentation create enzymes and vitamins). Still I believe we are not made to eat grains and legumes! In case we do, they should be at least germinated/speouted.
IMOP we should eat lots of fruits. They give us all the nutrients needed! Yes, also proteins. In the small amounts we actually need them. Seeds and nuts should be also soaked at least over night, to decrease antinutrients.
This is how our grand- and grandmothers used to do it. But time has become stressful and scarce in our society…and everything must be fast!
That’s why wheat has been manipulated to grow faster, industry have the power to make us ill by producing low energetic food… etc. etc….sorry, I could go on and on and on.
