Default Myth: Vegans do NOT need to Compliment Protiens

Protein combining is not necessary at every meal, but it is
necessary at some point.

From
The American Dietetic Association
Position Paper On Vegetarianism
http://www.eatright.org/Public/Gover...s/92_17084.cfm

"Plant protein can meet requirements when a variety of plant
foods is consumed and energy needs are met. Research indicates
that an assortment of plant foods EATEN OVER THE COURSE OF A
DAY can provide all essential amino acids and ensure adequate
nitrogen retention and use in healthy adults, thus
COMPLEMENTARY PROTEINS DO NOT NEED TO BE CONSUMED AT THE
SAME MEAL."
