    Shift the American Populace to Evidence-Based Plant-Based Diets

    Human bodies require component nutrients (vitamins, minerals, amino acids) that are, indeed, found IN animal bodies (and we ALSO require fiber and phytochemicals that are found ONLY in foods of plant origin but NOT at all in foods entirely of animal origin).  However, (1) those components do not require the consumption of animal parts or flesh or 'proteins' and (2) those animal 'proteins' that humans habitually consume have taken their 'animal proteins' from consuming plant proteins from their amino acid constituents.  We humans can consume the amino acids we require from plants, from which our bodies (semi-automatically) assemble those constituent amino acids into the kinds of proteins we humans can use.
