# Soy protein has been shown to be equal to proteins of animal origin. It can be your sole protein source if you choose.
# Whole grains, legumes, vegetables, seeds and nuts all contain both essential and non-essential amino acids. You don't need to consciously combine these foods ("complementary proteins") within a given meal.I prefer soy/nuts/peanut butter and all kinds of other stuff.
I'm not veg because I think I'm better than anyone else.
I'm veg because I can eat and LOVE everything on my plate, EVERY TIME I EAT.
I'm veg because I want to make less of a footprint on this beautiful planet.
I'm veg because I love animals, humans included.
I'm veg because I feel better from it.
I'm veg because I walk the talk. - 2 years ago

Yeah, apparently even the devil's children can do good. Love your fellow human, have compassion, and who knows, they might even surprise you.

? I love everyone. I doubt that anyone is a child of "the devil" since I don't believe in the devil. It's more likely that the "evil" you speak of is just severe mental problems.

I just gave a speech about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Fish and birds eat plastic thinking its food. Of all of the pollution in the ocean, 90% is plastic. Plastic photo degrades which means the pieces get smaller, but they never fully break down. Plastic is in the food chain.

Awesome. Glad you're letting ppl know. I've spoken about it too. Maybe if enough of us create enough awareness someday all the countries in the world will do what needs to be done and pitch in to clean it up (and prevent it from happening again.)

I eat more fish than the average person, maybe 3 times a week. It's mostly wild pacific salmon but this, the PCBs and mercury that can bioaccumulate in the fish are really starting to turn me off of it. And once fish is out of my diet, I guess I'm more or less a vegan. This is a good example of the state of our environment.
