Reread my post. I am talking about Veganism, which is not eating meat or animal products. Virtually all people in poor and developing nations rely on fish, meat, or milk as their main or important supplemental source of protein. The grains you mentioned do not provide nearly enough protein and other nutrients.

Poor people don't have the luxury to buy vegan fake-meat, and have to supplement their diet in any way they can.

Like I said, Veganism is a first world luxury.

@Intranetusa You still don't get it. I am saying that I KNOW these people, so I can say with no doubt they are vegans (and not for religious reasons). And I am telling you they eat like that by their own choice. Of course I cannot talk about everyone in all third world countries, but I can certainly say that I know vegans who are poor, therefore your comment was based only on generalization. It's your opinion, it doesn't mean it should be true just because you believe in it.

@MrDjegovsky

They are not vegans. They are people who are vegetarians by religion or people who simply can't afford meat, milk, etc. The definition of vegan is a person who avoids ALL animal products by CHOICE... People in poor 3rd world country do not deliberately choose to avoid important sources of nutrition.

Never once did I say meat, milk, fish, etc are the only sources of protein. If you bothered to read my comment, I said they are important SUPPLEMENTAL sources of protein.

@Intranetusa I've read the comments and I still think what you said doesn't make sense. I come from a third world country and I know lots of vegans who are poor. Just because you are a vegan it doesn't mean you must buy veggie bacon or veggie sausages or whatever, neither you have to eat at fancy organic raw vegan cafés. There are hundreds of other foods that are cheap and nutritious available.

And you are also wrong about meat products being the only source of protein. Very wrong.

In my junior year, my diet consisted of potatoes, whole wheat bread, broccoli, eggs, chicken, and whatever was on sale at my local grocery store. If there is a local "East Asian" supermarket in your area (the really big chain markets, not the small ones), they usually have meat, vegetables, and fruits that are significantly cheaper than American supermarkets. Good luck!

@Intranetusa Thank you! I want to be vegan or at least try it, but I'm a poor college student that barely has enough money to eat and will probably get screwed from student loan debts.
