    How the fuck can we get enough protein without eating enough meat? People in global south do not only suffer from calorie deficiency but also protein deficiency, which is related to meat (red or white) and dairy usage.

        Maybe for first worlders who can be vegetarians because they like the identity, people who are malnourished need adequate resources, and a diet with meat and dairy is the most efficient way for a large population, at the moment.

          That’s just factually wrong. It simply takes more resources to make the same amount of protein in meat as in vegetarian foods, that doesn’t matter where in the world you live. It takes 50 times more land just to grow the feed for beef or sheep than to grow the same amount of protein in legumes.

      /s? Because through like… every other abundant source of protein. We actually eat way, way too much protein on average, which your body has to just filter out. It does you no good and just overworks your liver.

      Soy, rice, beans, legumes, and many other foods provide abundant protein.

      If you want to worry about not getting enough of something, focus on fiber.
