<p>Rachel… Rachel dear. You’re posting stuff that you don’t even know what it means. I already mentioned why fibre is needed. Avoiding simple sugars and other unhealthy foods will prevent those diseases, especially type 2 diabetes. The reason that fibre is so good to have is because it slows digestion (therefore slowing sugar processing) and preventing the spike. The sugar spike is what causes the problems. But if you’re avoiding sugar the amount of fibre that you need will be MUCH less.</p>
<p>Secondly, see how that one source says “by eating a variety and combining these plant products your Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA’s) for all essential amino acids will be met.” You need a wide variety to complete the recommended AA profile and it’s a lot easier to just eat meat. I said that you can’t do it on beans and soy… and you can’t. And over half of what you posted has nothing to do with what I said. You’re one of those people that just posts as much as they can in order to bore their opposition to death. I never said anything about plant protein and cholesterol, or that soy doesn’t have protein. Do us all a favour and leave that stuff out when you’re quoting articles… thanks. And I’m from Canada, but from when I was in the states they were pretty obese so I guess maybe you guys do get too much protein from McDonald’s and whatnot. One last thing, it says that the average american eats too much protein. The average american apparently doesn’t exercise. Anyone exercising will need a lot more protein than someone that doesn’t.</p>
