The Vegan Protein Myth

Sunny of peta2 tackles the vegan/protein myth. It's virtually impossible to be protein deficient if you're consuming enough calories... every whole food contains protein! So the next time someone asks you, "But where do you get your protein?", blast them away with your plant-based knowledge, leaving them no excuse to not go vegan. Read More: http://bit.ly/bALKxs

Google the "Inuit Paradox". A diet that consists of nearly all animal products. Lowest health problem rate of any culture on earth.

Proteins come from amino acids, which are found in all plant matter. It's not like when you eat a hamburger, your body can just use the proteins as is. They have to be broken down into amino acids and reassembled. So plant foods are actually a more efficient way of building protein. The problem for vegans is getting complete proteins (i.e. getting the 10 essential amino acids in their diet) which is not difficult at all if you're eating a diverse diet.
