Actually, the best quality of protein is in yeast. When I make my own bread I use 9 packages of yeast instead of just one. According to the USDA website at http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/ yeast is almost a perfect match for the 8 essential amino acids that we need.

I’d also like to point out that it doesn’t taste good and probably not healthy and to eat Nutritional Yeast which is yeast which has been dead for a long time.

It is useful to try everything in practice anyway and I like that here it’s always possible to find something new.

I agree with virtually all of this article about protein ingestion and optimum protein sources. However, the mention of what was classically referred to as the “complete protein” combination described erroneously by author Frances Moore Lappé many years ago, which includes examples like rice/beans, wildly contributes to the same kind of food putrefaction rendered through flesh eating or overeating because digestion is largely suspended when extreme starches and proteins are combined. Maybe on paper these delicious food items provide complimentary requisite amino acids, but in process, they do not work. Food combining – or rather food simplifying, as I like to refer to it – teaches us that our body stores complimentary amino acids, nutrients, minerals, etc., that are then released when simple (and sometimes single) food types are eaten. This is how we were and are still today essentially designed; to eat simple (or single), vegan, fresh, whole foods.

And… we (humans) only contain/produce about 1/1500 percent of the actual enzyme required to digest animal protein – although I forget what the name of that enzyme is. Anyone…? …anyone?

However… Carnivorous animals like lions have this digestive enzyme in abundance. Although, interestingly – lions always eat the intestines of their kill first, which typically contains the pre-digested plant-based diet that their prey ingested just before becoming dinner.

Since we are closer to apes and gorillas than to lions, and since these primates typically eat a plant-based diet…it makes more sense that we follow our primate cousins with regards to our dietary habits. And just look at what eating celery does for an 800 pound, muscle-bound gorilla!
