Are You a Vegetarian?

[Mulch]

The only plant to supply a full protein intake for the proteins that your body can't create naturally is soy.

So basically you have to eat soy as a vegan to get everything.

You pulled that out of your ass. Protein is naturally found in all edible plants. Some, like soy, just happen to contain higher amounts then say potatoes, which contain 2g of protein.

Edit: Also, how much protein do you think you loving need? For someone with a body weight of 150 pounds they would need about 50g of protein a day, and I believe even that to be a stretch 30g would be more like it. Further more, since your body has no way to store protein it just converts it into fat and stores it.

There's one problem with the vegetarians theory.
What's the point in eating vegetables even if they have the same vitamins, when they taste like stuff?
Other than losing all of a stone, and by stone, I mean a pebble.

The animal is already dead, why not eat it.

It depends on how they are cooked. Vegetable stir fry would have to be my favourite. Also, Germans eat plenty of meat and their food is considered bland your point is null.

So it's vegetarians claiming vegetables are just as good as meat and in ways better.
Too bad nobody gives a crap.

Yes, I totally pulled it out of my ass.  Here, have some toilet paper to wipe some of my stuff off of it.


Do you understand that there are multiple proteins that the body needs?  There are two types of proteins, essential and nonessential proteins.  Essential proteins cannot be made naturally by the human body and are required in our diet in order to function properly.  Plants, with the exception of soybeans/soy protein/soy itself, do not contain all incomplete proteins.

Soybeans are considered by many agencies to be a source of complete protein.[13] A complete protein is one that contains significant amounts of all the essential amino acids that must be provided to the human body because of the body's inability to synthesize them. For this reason, soy is a good source of protein, amongst many others, for vegetarians and vegans or for people who want to reduce the amount of meat they eat.

According to the US Food and Drug Administration:
Soy protein products can be good substitutes for animal products because, unlike some other beans, soy offers a 'complete' protein profile. ... Soy protein products can replace animal-based foods—which also have complete proteins but tend to contain more fat, especially saturated fat—without requiring major adjustments elsewhere in the diet.[13]

For future reference, double check your education and quit calling out people on "pulling facts out of their ass" unless you have the facts to back it up.

Give me more information on incomplete proteins then, what exactly is their make up.

Eat some meat, you skinny long hair.
(Lol what am I saying, I have long hair.)

"Protein" is just a universal term.  When it says under nutritional facts that a box of Reeses Puffs has 2g of protein, that's a TOTAL amount, roughly even.

Essential = body can't make it on its own, required in diet
Nonessential = body CAN make on its own, not necessary in diet but still ok.

At this point I'm also questioning your age on your profile of "22".

If your just here to stuff post and contribute nothing to the conversation you can leave.

My apologies, I was wrong. However I still think that it is completely possible to get essential protein from more than just soybeans, or meat, or artificial supplements.

That's completely irrelevant.

Living without meat sounds interesting, but it seems too expensive and hard to stay on track.
