this is great, but, isnt it more important (for a active male particularly) to have red and white meat in the diet as well, suppose you play rugby and you need good quality protein, you cant get that in fruit and veg! although im sure all the said foods above, fresh fruit organic veg etc, Is good for you, i have trouble understanding wher a good source of protein can be derived from other than fish, red and white meat etc! but i will agree, there is nothing like organic! you tell the difference

a. Search youtube for "the protein myth".

b. Watch the movie Earthlings on google video.

Bravo for speaking out!!! What a smart woman! We love you!

[SauronsEye]

Can't argue with a world class athlete like Martina. Sure she had talent to reach the level she did but to keep at it for 50 odd years at an elite level. It's got to make you sit up and take notice of what she's saying.

PETA should hire Martina to do this spiel again but naked...with fruit and veg hiding certain body parts. Now that would get some attention.

Protein molecule can not be absorbed by the body directly. They have to be broken down into its constituent amino acids before they can be absorbed. Plants and fruits have amino acids (and protein too) which your body can absorb directly and make protein for its use. You don't have to eat protein.

[ronny andersen]

Interestingly enough, plant protein is far superior to meat, because it is more readibly digested and used. ALL plants contain complete proteins, just eat enough calories, you need to eat 10 grams of carbs pr kilo bodyweight, at a minimum of 3000 calories pr day. If you do that and not undereat as most people do, you will never have protein problems, regardless of your activity.

If you knew what I knew, you'd be vegan too.

I'm a girl who plays rugby and I'm a vegetarian. Protein is in all whole foods not just meat.

[Jess Moseley]

There are many vegetarian sources of protein. Beans and grains for starters. She wasn't telling you to eat only fruits and vegetables. Just to eat a lot of them.
