Man can live on non animal proteins
A little clarification before any digression from the topic continues. There are nine essential Amino Acids. Animal sources provide complete proteins (all 9) but have other internal and external debilitating effects. Protein can be obtained from plant based foods, but not in complete forms. If one is eating a vegetarian or vegan diet, they must combine different forms in order to receive complete proteins. The four groups are nuts, legumes/beans, unrefined grains and vegetables. If one group is missing from a diet, there is going to be a deficiency.
Thanks for the links lachlustre, they are extremely helpful and I am passing them forward to others.
