  1. A long time ago, the biggest health concern in foods in America was too much protein… as compared to the rarely too little.

    Lets take a look at the most important protein requiring time of a human being… infancy. Human breast milk is the perfect amount of protein for an infant. At about 1.02 mg percent protein it is the same amount of protein as watermelon…(granted as a diruretic we don't want to feed our infants watermelon just for its protein).

    Cows milk on the other hand is about 3.75 mg percent protein, nearly four times the amount of protein. Explain to me why we believe we need more protein? Isn’t a bit obvious that we are driven by lobbyist? Bacon became a breakfast food only after massive amounts of money were spent to get the public to believe that. We in America are possibly the most uninformed population when it comes to food and nutrition in general. Most MD's have virtually no schooling in nutrition and that goes for most nutrtionists also.

    So, we have all these people wanting to eat better, going vegan and believing that they must have more protein… and then they consume soy products to maintain high proteins and wonder why they are sick?? We need people to start doing their own research, what is alkaline vs. acid foods?… not depend on the food industry to tell them what to eat… and not depend on MD's who don't know much except where their money comes from… ie. lobbyists. Are we addicted to proteins and the subtle protein rush??? ( do think corporate lobbyist such as ADM, Calgro, Monsanto and others have no control over the AMA?) Do your own research…learn what is good for you and what is not… become self empowered.

  2. There is one caveat to vegetarian instead of vegan food. Evidence suggests that casein, a cow milk protein, when ingested with plant foods, binds with all the healing antioxidants and renders them USELESS to our body! It's so easy and healthier to be vegan and you can get plenty of protein!

    Why would someone choose to be vegan? To help end world hunger for one!

  3. What? No mention of hempseed?

    I assume it was an oversight and not intentional.

    Hulled hempseed is 33% protein.

    Ratios of omega-3, omega-6, and GLAs are ideal for humans.

    The benefits of this plant are innumerous.

  4. Ray Cushing says:

    Hemp seed is nature's richest source of plant protein, in addition to being the most balanced source of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. Strange that it was left off this list, just as it is ALWAYS left off of such lists in the mainstream media.

    >>1 oz. cashews – 4.4 grams

    Please use either Imperial/US measurements or else metric. Don't mix them together in the same statement!

  6. Eliot W. Collins says:

    Documented protein deficiencies (for those not otherwise suffering from malnutrition) are quite rare, even among strict vegans. Excess protein consumption in affluent societies is far more of a problem.

  7. You forgot buckwheat (similar to quinoa)

  8. GreenEggsAndHam says:

    I am unaware of the connection between the glycemic impact of quinoa and its gluten content. Is that some kind of sloppy mistake, or is it a revelation I need to be aware of?

  9. Why in the world would anyone ever be vegetarian? Fat and cholesterol are the healthiest foods in the world.

    1. Anonymous says:

      You can get fat and cholesterol from vegetarian sources. Avocado is a perfect example.

  10. I am always looking for new veggie dishes that could pass as a main course (as a vegetarian) This looks delicious and filling! Can’t wait to try!
