I'm not here to argue. Simply offering my perspective per the OP's request. That does not take away from the fact that almost all plant-based protein sources lack "complete" proteins with all of the essential amino acids that the body needs for cellular repair/regeneration. There are plenty of long-term studies that underscore this.

I am not challenging the merits of vegetables, as I realize they are absolutely essential for optimal health. One needs at least a moderate source of protein and fats with a plentiful source of vegetables to support a healthy metabolism.

No I didn't saying you were arguing (in the negative sense of the word). I meant argue as in, argue a case, which has a neutral connotation.

How do you know? Because research/science said so?

Empirically, infact many people have lots of digestive problems with vegetables. Some health problems AFAIK believe can be reliably traced to excess consumption of some vegetables.

Do you see where I'm going with this?
