Plant protein does not contain all the essential amino acids so it is nutritionally useless.

“ Plant protein does not contain all the essential amino acids so it is nutritionally useless.”

That’s why you fry it and smother it in tomato sauce. Piece of roasted garlic bread and a glass of Cabernet. Would rather have the real thing but whatever.

Depends on how you vary your diet.

Recent research has shown that we can get adequate, complete protein even if we don’t combine at a single meal, but eat the various necessary amino acids over the day.

(Nonetheless, I’m not a fan of calamari either way...let me know when they 3D-Print a passable crabmeat.)

That is not true. Ever heard of eating rice and green peas? Sheesh - in many ways FR is where facts go to die. I eat meat often as well, but come on, at least try to be correct.

Sigh why lie, we get it bro you hate vegans at least argue from a standpoint of facts.

Literally first result from Gemini less than 2 seconds of asking.

Complete plant proteins are sources of protein that contain all nine essential amino acids that the human body needs but cannot produce on its own. Examples of plant-based complete proteins include quinoa, soy products (tofu, tempeh, edamame), hemp seeds, chia seeds, amaranth, buckwheat, and spirulina.

The list is much more extensive. You can also extract complete proteins from leavesstems and roots via alkaline hydrolysis. It is factually incorrect to say you cannot get complete protein from plants that is scientifically wrong period full stop. Half a billion Indians in India also would smack you down with that fact as well.

We get it you like meat fine but don’t lie it a bad look for the right. I am a and hunter, and a descendent of coming on 300 years of continuous cattle people in South Texas I have never bought store beef always from familia’s herd so by no means vegan.

I am a scientist and understand math with 8 billion and growing there is not enough land, feed or water for the 6 billion people in chronic protein deficiency to eat animal protein at even half of western levels of consumption this is just cold hard mathematical fact. To eliminate this global issue , cultured products, precision fermentation and biotech is the only way. It’s going to come down to competitive price what can you afford to eat vs what the world is willing to pay for limited resources. As the global economy expands abd more and more humans have middle class money the PPP of that currency will determine where resources get sent too. Again it’s mathematical which doesn’t care about politics, feelings or beliefs. The products will flow to the highest bidders.

Can’t you combine plant stuffs such as beans and corn. Does not the corn fill in the missing amino acid?
