Abstract
Background Shifting towards a more plant-based diet, as promoted in Western countries, will reduce the animal protein contribution to total proteins. Such a reduction may not only impair protein adequacy, but also the adequacy in other nutrients.
Objectives We determined, for different adult subpopulations, the minimum total protein level and the minimum animal protein contribution to total proteins that are compatible with the fulfillment of all non-protein nutrient-based recommendations.
Methods Mean nutritional content and mean diet cost for 5 French subpopulations were estimated using a French cross-sectional representative survey: Women < 50 years (A), Women 50–64 years (B), Women ≥ 65 years (C), Men < 65 years (D), Men ≥ 65 years (E). For each subpopulation, linear programming optimization was used to assess the minimum protein level (Model Set#1) and the minimum animal protein contribution to total proteins (Model Set#2) that are compatible with the fulfilment of all nutrient-based recommendations (except proteins for which levels were analyzed as output). Total diet cost was not allowed to increase. Eating habits were considered in Model Set#2 only.
Results The minimum amount of protein that was theoretically compatible with the fulfilment of nutrient-based recommendations (Model Set#1) was below the minimum recommended protein intake for all subpopulations except A. In Model Set#2, for women and men over 65 years (C and E), decreasing animal protein contribution to total proteins below 55% and 60% respectively led to protein levels below recommend levels. For the other subpopulations (A, B, and D), the lowest animal protein contribution to total proteins compatible with a nutritionally adequate diet (including protein adequacy) was 55%, 50% and 45%, respectively.

A world of girlie men.
No worries. Bugs are animal based protein.
When they force people to eat bugs they’ll see why we DON’T EAT BUGS
Indeed the human race didn’t get this far by eating bugs crops are hard to find in the winter.
Climate activists want to reduce meat consumption.
*************
The elites pushing the climate change agenda probably eat more meat than anyone. Just like their jet setting ways produce more carbon than anyone else does.
Because of its enormous popularity, Soylent Green is in short supply.
Remember, Tuesday is Soylent Green Day.
Imagine this! Bug farms! Imagine trying to herd bugs! How would they be corralled? Would special bugs have to be bred to heard the bugs that are to be eaten? Finally, how many bugs would have to be killed to make one hamburger patty?
… ever milked a beetle?
Ping
My doctor said I should eat a plant-based diet. I’m having a real hard time getting enough protein while staying under calorie restrictions. Adding animal protein would sure make it easier.
One that might possibly have taken a class in nutrition.
I eat a plant based diet.
Cows, sheep, deer, and goats eat grass.
Chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese eat leaves, stems, seeds, and bugs. And bugs eat vegetation.
Fish eat fish (...), which eat zooplankton, which eat phytoplankton.
My entire diet is plant based; I get all the high quality protein I need by eating reprocessed plant matter.
I’m not sure that’s what the eco-communists have in mind ...
We watched Jurassic Park: Dominion yesterday.
Just ONE of those bugs would’ve made a meal, if it didn’t make one out of YOU first!
Beetle cheese! MMMMMMMMMMM😝
I’m not sure that’s what the eco-communists have in mind ...
No, but you said it brilliantly!👍
