thus proving only that this person knows nothing about nutrition.

protein is protein.
the difference is the fat and all the OTHER crap that comes along WITH
animal products.

Dean Ornish has proved this thoroughly (as well as scores of others)
a pplant based, animal product free diet with 10% or less of its calories
from fat is PROVEN to reverse heart disease or prevent it as well as
encourage healthy weight loss.
PROVEN being the operative word

the "need" for animal protein harkens back to a primitive belief that
eating an aniumal gives you its strentgh.

i'd LOVE to see the double blind, placebo contrlled study that shows your
genius that animal protein is in ANY way healthier than plant protein for
human nutrition.

of course if it's only his OPINION....then let's not confuse it with facts.
