RE: #ToVeganOrNot - Explain Why You DO or DO NOT Eat Dead Animals & "Animal Products" (Comment Contest: 20+ STEEM in Prizes)

in #toveganornot6 years ago (edited)

I actually did a large post about this recently, as the arguments for protein by animal-eaters are based on complete pseudo-science, and do not match up with reality. Humans need the 9 essential amino acids, which can be gotten from hundreds of different plants, and the fact that dead flesh has complete protein chains is part of the reason eating it drains so much energy. The body actually has to break down those proteins into the AAs it actually needs, which is highly inefficient.

Congratulations on your work, really great.
