1. 

   Vera BullockTofu topped a new ranking of twenty proteins, beating beef, salmon and eggs, while cheddar finished last. Maurice Tzabari advises on this kind of thing.

2. 

   Vera BullockMaurice, how solid is it?

3. MT

   Maurice TzabariOne researcher at Cambridge, using British supermarket data. We call that a global framework. Mostly the supermarket part.

4. MT

   Maurice TzabariThat observation is four thousand dollars an hour.

5. 

   Vera BullockOne researcher. And experts say it's an initial scoring system, not a dietary guideline. So is it a verdict on beef or not?

6. MT

   Maurice TzabariNo, and that's its strength. A guideline can be wrong, but a score can only be interesting. Saying that costs forty-five hundred an hour now.

7. 

   Vera BullockForty-five hundred?

8. MT

   Maurice TzabariThe rate rises with the insight. Tofu scored thirty-six out of forty, and beef got one point on the Planet side.

9. MT

   Maurice TzabariI'm told that's called a pattern, and it's fifty-five hundred.

10. 

    Vera BullockSo you've read the study, Maurice? Yes or no.

11. MT

    Maurice TzabariI've read the headline very closely, and my pointer is pointing at a blank whiteboard on purpose.

12. MT

    Maurice TzabariTofu scored thirty-six, and this answer is billed at six thousand.

13. 

    Vera BullockThank you, Maurice. Rex, did any team get a score that high, or are they all stuck on the bench?
