The source for all protein is plant protein, whether it's in nuts or grasses, or grains, or vegetables, or legumes, or any other source. Animals would not have protein if they did not eat plants. A carnivore will not eat another carnivore because they would eventually starve themselves out of existence. Carnivores eat herbivores or omnivores and will almost always go straight for the intestines where plant food is being digested. Animal flesh would not be a good protein source if it were not for the animal who's flesh it is eating something that contained plant protein. Many people will claim that animal flesh has some amino acids that you cannot find in plants. This is true, however, those amino acids are ones that are made by the body (whether it's animal or human) from...plant proteins. We don't need to EAT those amino acids because our body already makes them. So, in conclusion, all protein comes from plant sources and even if someone is eating animal protein, that protein comes from plants so you may as well just skip the middle man and get your protein from the source! Go veg!
Protein? Forget about that protein myth. There's a reason it's a myth; because it's untrue.
Amino acids are what you want to look for in your diet. We use these to create our proteins. Protein is everywhere in every living thing. You cannot avoid it. Where does meat get it's protein from? Plants (unless you are eating Tiger).
