While protein can be obtained from beans and legumes, there are a few problems: 1. Every single bean and legume besides peanuts are completely fucking gross. 2. Most beans make you gassy. 3. Peanuts are becoming an increasingly taboo food product because women are giving their children deadly strong peanut allergies by ingesting unacceptable amounts of it while pregnant or nursing. Schools are banning peanuts, restaurants are cutting it out of their menus, all because of bad parenting. That chart also has both eggs on it in two places. Well, what the fuck are eggs? Future meat, that's what. If you have qualms about eating meat but not about eating eggs, your views are inconsistent and dumb.

well, I eat meat, so in a sense im playing devil's advocate, but your arguments have a couple flaws.. one, the top triangle is egg all inclusive as its not as healthy because of the yolk which is high in cholesterol and secondly, its not stupid logic to eat eggs and not meat, unless you eat fertilized eggs. Thats like calling a porn star a cannibal.

I love meat, and have plenty of reasons why I eat it (mainly because it tastes good and I'm too lazy to plan a vegetarian diet that is fully balanced) but to say that one can't lead a long and healthy life as a vegetarian is silly.

EDIT: also your argument against protein is basically saying that you fart and it tastes gross. Well, that goes back to my people ultimately eat meat because it tastes good theory. Peanuts are only one source of protein so if you're allergic, eat soy.
