I definitely get

BTW, in The China Study, they do a study on let's say getting 5g protein - one from animal-based, one from plant-based. Even though they were the same amount, the plant-based protein was more efficient than the animal-based.
but you have to keep in mind that there are plenty of different types of proteins. And like I said, humans bodies have survived off of meat for years so our bodies function best off of that.
I admittedly am a little oblivious to this so I'll ask this.
The 5 gram of protein experiment you talked about. How much of another food source would you have to ingest to get the 5 grams? I only ask because I think it will be way more (volume-wise) than a lean meat. If this is so, I think it would be extremely hard for you to get enough protein in a day. I might be completely off base but for you to get enough you would have to eat a ton of a certain food which would be too much and would get full or eat a bunch of almonds. Which are great for you but to get the amount of protein you need you would greatly exceed your calorie intake.

Actually, it's not all that hard to get sufficient protein from a plant-based diet. Humans don't need tons and tons of protein unless they're bodybuilders.. 50-60g/day is sufficient, and that's not that hard to do from a plant-based diet... especially if you take soy protein shakes ( 
). I almost tried the Engine 2 Diet once, a completely vegan diet.. but I really just don't see the need to give up meats. I don't agree that they're bad for you.

You do know their are countries that don't have access to sufficient amounts of meat and also countries that have practiced vegetarianism for years right? Wiki
ETA: look at their disease rates.
As someone else said, humans don't need as much protein as we think. I get plenty of protein for what I do everyday. Refer to the chart on this page for options and their protein count. Veg Protein
I can't sit down and do it right now, but I will type up some quotes later this afternoon with a little more detail about protein from The China Study.
