Many vegetarians are concerned about getting enough protein. Learn how to get enough protein in a vegetarian diet in this free video.
Protein is essential to human health. Our bodies—hair, muscles, fingernails, and so on—are made up mostly of protein. As suggested by the differences between our muscles and our fingernails, not all proteins are alike. This is because differing combinations of any number of 20 amino acids may constitute a protein. In much the same way that the 26 letters of our alphabet serve to form millions of different words, the 20 amino acids serve to form different proteins. Watch this video and let Jean explain it to you

You should check out some indian dishes. Many of them are vegetarian and they’re delicious.
Also… your …
Also… your comments on moderation are silly. If something in excess kills you, then ANY amount kills you? I suppose you feel that way about Asprin and red wine, too? How about bananas? If you eat 30 of them in 24 hours it’ll stop your heart from potassium overdose. Does that mean we should become anti-banana?
There is value in meat. Red or poultry, or fish. If you think you can substitute all the beneficial stuff in meat with other foods, good for you. That doesn’t make meat the enemy.
Creatine is made by …
Creatine is made by all vertebrates (yes, even humans) and helps supply energy to muscles. If we make it ourselves, we don’t need to eat it.
There are 1000s of proteins, but they are made of only 22 amino acids, and of those 10 are “essential” –> your body cannot make them and must get them from food. Any variety of food, meat or plant, gives you all you need. A famous “protein combo” is rice and beans, since grains have high #s of amino acids except lysine, and beans provide lots of lysine.
“depriving their …
“depriving their brain chemistry in critical ways” I was just about to ask for your source, but then I realized that you didn’t even tell us what nutrient vital to the brain you think we are deprived of. So tell me, what am I deficient in that is harming mine and 1% of America’s brains?
“Moderation in all things” If too much red meat can harm you, then any red meat can harm you. If too much smoking can harm, then any smoking harms and you should stop smoking.

She doesn’t know …
She doesn’t know anything. Brown rice+bush’s baked beans is the best?? ANd then she also recomends a bunch of meat subs?? SHe is suggesting that its hard to get enough protein in a vegetarian diet, and that you have to work at it.
Most plants have protein in them. Grains, nuts and beans, obviously, but also carrots and potatoes and broccoli and spinach and most everything else. Honestly, its pretty hard to become deficient in protein unless you are eating just poptarts and oreos.
wow i can look …
wow i can look forward to a life of canned poo, this hasn’t made me feel good about going veggie
She’s talking …
She’s talking mainly rubbish, she obviously doesn’t know her nutrition that well. AND if you notice, ALL of her recomendations are of highly processed crap.
I think that quorn …
I think that quorn tastes more like seitan than meat, but maybe that depends on what type of quorn products you used to eat? o_O
I totally agree.
…
I totally agree.
I used “Quorn” when I started going vegetarian. Now I think it’s kind of disgusting to eat stuff that looks like meat. It only makes you remember how meat tasted and felt like.
I am thinking about going vegan. There’s really some delicious meals in vegan cooking. “Veganomicon” is a lovely vegan cookbook by isa c. moskowitz.
Oh I love …
Oh I love Morningstar vegeterian chicken patties, asian veg patties and burgers. For those who keep kosher they are kosher too.

Unfortunately the science shows that strict vegetarians are depriving their brain chemistry in critical ways. Too much red meat is bad. No meat at all is bad. Moderation in all things.
Yes. I know many …
Yes. I know many Vegetarians who are smarter, more focused, and metally advanced than meat-eaters. I am a Vegetarian myself. I am a lot more able than a lot of people in my School.
