I bet he laughs when people ask him where he gets his protein.

We don't get protein from meat. Animal protein is not the same as human protein. We get amino acids from food, and our bodies convert that into human protein. So, unless you eat meat raw, you get no protein from it; cooking destroys the amino acid chain. When a lion eats a gazelle, for instance, it is uncooked, and that would be a large amount of protein for the lion (who needs it to build strength).

“It’s an interesting thing. Seeing Kuan Yin relating to a flower so intently. She's not just looking at it; she's interacting with it…I’m seeing how the act of relating to a flower appears to be so simple. Yet, it takes a tremendous amount of courage to make such a “simple” act important. Now, the lotus is floating away.”

Thanks, SC. I'm amazed at people who should know better that think we can eat animal protein and get protein from it. Our bodies can only create protein from amino acids.

I have to be honest Randall, I have never heard that before.
So if you have a moment give me the theory.
I would be interested.
I was under the assumption that meat/fish/eggs were the only source of the full spectrum of aminos.
And cooking had no effect.
So what diet is best for protein intake?

Oops, sorry, I didn't see this. Our bodies produce most of the amino acids we need for protein synthesis; we only have to get a few from our diet. Nuts and seeds are a great source. I eat sunflower seeds like candy. lol

You are quite right, bunnies. If you don't want to eat meat etc., then you have to mix several different kinds of incomplete protein together to get the full spectrum

I beleive that soy beans contain complete protein. However there are many problems with soy beans.

Seems it's impossible to avoid GM soy. It is in most vegetarian food and also in most animal feed

Amino acids are very delicate. Cooking breaks them down. Eating over easy or sunny side up eggs would be acceptable.

I don't know which foods contain the full spectrum (keep in mind hat we produce all buta few), but anything cooked medium rare would probably contain amino acids (like salmon is best cooked).
