Who was the first person to say "vegetarians don't get enough protein"?!

Who was the first person to say "vegetarians don't get enough protein"?

I'd like to give then a good kick up the ****.

( bit sick of hearing that all the time )

Anyone got ANY evidence that, as a vegetarian, i do not get enough protein ???

Billie B, such insightful logic you present...no need to ask if you are a meat-eater, is there ?

I guess all that meat and fish isn't the brain food people claim it to be.

Strange person, maybe its all the artificial hormones that are infecting the brian - probably.

It's all about talking out of their a**.
People LOVE to talk like they know everything, they LOVE to believe that they are omniscient, but are some of the laziest people because they can't lift a finger to research vegetarianism/vegan-ism!
I guess they find it to be trendy to sound and look stupid.

Nobody will ever come up with evidence to dispute vegetarians do not get enough protein.

People who are non-believers try their hardest to prove us wrong, when we are the ones actually living this life!
Especially those of us who have been vegetarians for longer periods of time.
I think people should be spending their time more productively. Their lives can't be THAT uneventful!

“Good” and “bad” proteins
Another great misconception is that vegetable protein is inferior to meat protein. In the 1950s scientists classified meat protein as “first class” and vegetable protein as “second class”. However, this ideas has since been completely disproved, because vegetable proteins have been found to be equally as effective and nutritious as meat proteins; now this distinction has been discarded. In fact, some vegetarian foods, such as the incredibly protein-rich soybean, have twice the amount of protein found in meat! (Soybeans are 40% protein, whereas even the leanest cut of beefsteak has only 20% usable protein.)
Many nuts, seeds and beans contain 30% protein:
FOOD (100 gms.)------Grams of protein
Soymilk (powdered)--41 gms protein 41.8
Soybeanes (dry)-----31.4
Milk (powdered)------26.4
Peanuts-------------26
Beans---------------24.7
Beef----------------20.2
Chicken-------------18.6
Lamb---------------16.8
