    You know what has protein? Every whole plant food. You don't need a dedicated part of a meal that is high in protein when the whole meal contains protein.

    That's delusional.

    Different plants have different macros. Ofc there are plants with high protein but don't go around spouting carrots and fruit are a balanced diet. You need beans, legumes, nuts, etc.

    There’s nothing childish about paying attention to macros. If you’ve ever spent time doing any programmed exercising that includes making linear progress, you know the difference protein can make. And it’s hard to achieve even when you’re not extremely limited in ingredients.

    I’m not knocking vegan or vegetarian diets. Just saying it’s not at all easy, and that protein matters a lot.

    Also most vegetarian Indian food is absolutely loaded with butter/ghee. It’s not “healthy.”

    Italy and Japan life expectancy: 84 years.

    India: 70 years.

    Drastic differences.

    Especially when said infographic was not only wrong, but also propaganda.
