Animal protein is high quality protein and plant protein is low quality, vegans do claim that enough "low quality" plant protein can replace the good-quality animal protein, however it doesn't work like that in the real world. It might work for some, but certainly not for everyone, so not everyone get enough protein from fruit, veg and nuts.
Quote:You're still full of shit, meat is not the one and only good source of protein.I beg your fucking pardon? At least read some academic literature before spurting your bullshit here. "High quality protein" is a source of protein which provides all nine essential amino acids, and the only source of high quality protein is meat and animal products (eggs and dairy). Plant-based products (fruit/veg/nuts) contain dietary fibre with incomplete protein, that's why plant protein is called "low quality".
A while ago a friend of mine told me that American coke has more sugar in it than our Australian coke - so I looked it up and it had exactly the same amount of sugar, so I thought "oh well he's wrong". But I recently found out that US coke is actually sweetened using high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) instead of ordinary cane sugar (sucrose), and so it contains something like a 20% higher concentration of fructose, so that 10 or 11 grams per 100 grams of sugar in coke is not the same, and consequently significantly worse in the US! It's a similar principle, "sugar is sugar" well if it's got a higher concentration of fructose it's certainly not as healthy as the traditional stuff, same thing goes with the quality of protein - just because two foods have it doesn't mean they're the same.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK
"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
