Bullshit, the kind of lies that the meat industry loves to spin.
Nutritional value is not one single measurable thing. And even protein contents (meat's most common nutrient) when measured per gram can be higher in soy and derivatives than in some meats (e.g: pork but and shoulder). When measured by calories other legumes (beans, chickpeas, lupini) beat most meats.
The only nutrient not often found in plants is B12 vitamin. But it can be bought cheap as a nutritional supplement.
- serverholic 6y agoNot all plants have complete proteins. Also there are other nutrients that are hard to get on a vegan diet like EPA and DHA.
- elktea 6y agoThe protein you get from meat is a different collection of amino acids than the protein you can get from plants or soy.
- diego_moita 6y agoTrue, but you can combine plants to get the same collection (e.g: beans with bread). Also, the overwhelming majority of amino acids is not important. For nutrition only the 7 essential amino acids matter (the ones not made by our metabolism).
