We need both animal and plant protein. The best sources of animal protein are eggs, milk, and cheese. The best sources of plant protein are beans, nuts, and seeds.

Both extremes are wrong, and both diets can make us sick. Animal and plant protein complement each other and ensure a healthy diet. See similar questions...

This is the #1 question people have when they are considering a raw food diet. People think that protein comes only from meat, dairy or at least soy, and that without eating at least some of those foods, they won't get enough..
