Last time I saw protein recommendations they were higher than what I was
used to. I was going by the RDA for a woman my age for years then
suddenly a larger RDA was the order of the day. I think a lot of
diabetics who are eating relatively low carb would need to get the
majority of their protein from meat and fish and possibly cheese.

Could be. I spent many years as a vegetarian and ate a heck of a lot less
protein (that I knew about) than I do know. I used to think that the only
plant protein was in nuts, seeds and beans. And I assumed that I had to eat
a grain to make the beans be a complete protein.

Now I see that all those lunches I had of a vegetable plate (three different
kinds of vegetables) weren't so bad after all!

Okay I looked it up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwashiorkor

It's rare in developing countries and can come about with a diet that is
high in starches and low in protein. Starches. But they were not specific.
So maybe stuff like rice, bread and pasta? You know...non-vegetable stuff.
Because the link I posted was about vegetables.

Partly because Cassava contains at most 2% protein, and partly because
there are other factors involved than lack of protein.

Like a general lack of food, also called starvation.
I remember those pictures of the kids in Biafra during that war in
Nigeria.

Because I don't recall seeing you here before.

You're probably correct, but I don't see it as common on newsgroups to ask that
particular question of a new poster.

Consider me an infrequent lurker with the possibility that I will get more
involved...or just someone who thought I had an interesting question







or I suppose I should just ask you who you are? But I won't.

Okay...

I've been here since 1997.

You did, which led me to the Wikipedia about kwashiorkor and further into
nutrition information. I've seen kassava in some shops here, but at 38%
carbs and the danger of cyanide poisoning unless properly prepared I
think I'll pass. Oh, found a bread with only 18% carbs, should be okay
for an evening snack!

You'll find out.

my opinion is that protein is overrated. i think the body needs amino acids, which comprise protein. Amino acids are everywhere in food, also in plants. when we eat meat, the body breaks the animal proteins first before absorbing the amino acids. might as well eat amino acids in plants - healthier.

but it sure as hell doesn't taste as good as an inch-thick bloody steak!

on a side note, I think the whole protein hype and myth was started by meat producers. It's a billion-dollar industry world wide. I'm sure they have the money and the power to start a myth or two.

Yeah, like the whole grain myth was started by grain producers? And the meat
is bad for you myth was started by groups like PETA etc., You mean like
that?

my opinion is that since my father raises cattle for a living i shall
refrain from both lambasting you with my sailor talk capable mouth and i
will also refrain from relaying facts as most here already know them, Lee

I don't think so. Anyway the research is out there regarding how much
protein the body needs, independent research. Most pro plant food amino
acid literature comes from vegetarian websites and books not medical
sites.

That very well could be.
