Where do herbivores get protein?
#1
I was just curious, because all animals need it, right? They don't eat meat, so... where does their protein come from?

Seeds, Beans, Nuts. (All also edible by humans, thats why being vegetarian/vegan IS healthy)

Meat isn't the only things that give protein...
Beans give protein, so do nuts.

The soy bean is actually an excellent source of protein. Too bad I hate tofu. Tongue But all life on Earth requuires proteins to function, and plants are no exception. Therefore not just animals have protein. Tongue

You can get B12 through milk and carefully washed soy products. It's created by bacteria.

can u show me some proof about this soy thingy?

and consuming milk and eggs is just like eating meat IMO (well except for free-range eggs i guess).

Yup vitamin B12 is made by microorganisms...and plants and animals are unable to produce it. Typically if you aren't getting it from eating meat, you are okay if you still eat dairy products/drink milk. For vegans...there are supplements or fortified foods from which they can obtain vitamin B12.

lol if you really want to learn about carefully washed soy products, easily found through google.

Protein is made up of amino acids
Vegetable sources don't contain all the amino acids

They are what you would call "incomplete proteins"
