THE PROTEIN DEBATE
A hardcore meat eater will mostly defend his stand by pointing out the lack of protein content in plant-based foods. Although meat indeed has a higher protein content when even compared to rich plant-based family protein foods, you can still garner ample amount of protein from vegan sources that will suffice your daily protein requirement.
Typically your concentrated sources of plant protein are grains, corns, wheat, beans, peas, lentils, cashews, walnuts, almonds, pistachios. Then there are more dilute sources found in leafy vegetables like broccoli, kale, cauliflower, carrots. So as long as you are eating a well-balanced diet from plant-based foods which means a right blend of concentrated and dilute source of proteins, you will never have to rely on animal meat.
