There are different kinds of proteins build from different amino acids, 9 of 20 amino acids are essential, meaning our bodies can not produce them, so we need to eat them.
Meat contains all the amino acids we need in our bodies in the amount we need in our bodies. For vegetables that’s not necessarily the case.
Because of that vegetable protein needs to be very varied and balanced to be a complete diet, and just lettuce and apples is not enough.
In a first world country we can get these vegetable proteins varied and year round with little to no problem, which makes vegan diet a sustainable and morally superior diet.
In the developing world people are generally happy about being able to have a complete diet, moral questions take a backseat to survival and health, so carnivorous or piscivorous diets are far more common.
Meat contains all the amino acids we need in our bodies in the amount we need in our bodies.
If i remember right, the numbers were aroind 90% for eggs, 40% for steak and 12% for grain. As much can be used directly, the rest needs to be disassembled into amino acids and rebuilt.
edit: my bad, mine is about similiarity of proteins, yours about the components.
Pretty sure everyone else understood the meaning behind the sentence ‘you can get protein from lettuce and apples’. You need a certain amount of daily protein intake for a healthy diet and the comment implied you can get those from lettuce and apples. It is technically kinda true if you take it literally, but eating 5kg of lettuce is not practical.
That was not the point and you know it. And of course you would have to add more vegetables to get a full set of all essential amino acids. But the statement “you can’t get proteins from lettuce” remains wrong. You absolutely can.
Protein is protein and if this is where someone needs to get it, then this is what it will be
It is the point, if fish is what someone needs to obtain complete protein then that’s what they’ll do. Lettuce is not a replacement for fish which is what was being implied.
I understand if you have difficulty following basic comment chains and comprehending comments, with your lack of a balanced diet.
Bruh I lick buttholes all the time and I don’t like the taste of fish. If her butthole is at all reminiscent of fish it’s probably errant B.V, and don’t get me wrong I’ve been in the trenches before but it’s not supposed to smell like that.
Wikipedia claims they’re quite popular.
Reading more, everything I see describes them as bony, salty and very fishy tasting, best served smoked or grilled to mask the flavor.
Sounds like we’re not missing much.
Protein is protein and if this is where someone needs to get it, then this is what it will be
Except they’re using protein to catch the protein.
You can get protein from lettuce and apples lol
No you can’t lol
Yes, you can. Lettuce has around 2 gramm per 100. Apples 0.3
As comparison beef has 26.
So while lettuce has much less, saying you can’t get proteins from it is just plain wrong.

The numbers you want to look at are PDCASS and/or DIAAS scores of each protein source.
Every protein is denatured and turned into amino acids by proteases in your stomach and from your pancreas.

Both lettuce and apples are incomplete sources of protein and could not sustain a healthy diet.
Fish is a complete source of protein.

Play this argument in your head: ‘You need calories to survive’ - ‘You can get calories from concrete and sand’
In that situation, would you seriously argue that those actually contain nutrients at 0.0001 kcal per 100g? This was not very far from that.
…and turkeys can fly.

Sounds like why I dislike most fish to begin with.
It’s that fishy taste that does it to me
Just cant pretend to like it at all
Whitefish (why do you call Felchen like that?!) or Salmon fishy?
Because felching is something…else… over here.
That’s interesting, I really like the fishy taste. If it’s overpowering it can be unpleasant, but in reasonably amounts it’s tasty.
Do you also lick buttholes?
Bruh I lick buttholes all the time and I don’t like the taste of fish. If her butthole is at all reminiscent of fish it’s probably errant B.V, and don’t get me wrong I’ve been in the trenches before but it’s not supposed to smell like that.
Valid. Shit and fish taste different. Both terrible, but they have a distinct disgust.
Don’t knock it til you try it!
In reasonable amounts, yes
