    I choose to have a high protein diet because I feel better that way. However, I don’t think all protein = meat, nor animals for that matter. I mix it up a lot.

      Hey, whatever works for you. But I cannot tell you how many people assume I am going to die without “protein”. I remember reading a book written by a body builder who actually got his degree in nutrition finding that when measured, most of his supposed “necessary” protein was excreted in his urine, and he really didn’t need anything extra than what he was already getting via normal diet to maintain lean muscle mass. It sounded like he was eating the SAD, but all the protein powders and shakes were mostly hokum.

        I don’t think it is normal to excrete excess protein through urine, as this is a sign of kidney failure
