Why do we eat animal derived foods?
1. Because they taste good
2. Because we were taught that these are essential sources of calcium, protein and omega 3.
People say they could never go vegan because they would be missing their protein and calcium and would not get enough while on a plant based diet.
See the below table, it's as easy as this. Nuts, legumes and seeds have all the protein, calcium and omega 3 (and 6) you'll need.
The bonus: you'll cut out your cholesterol intake by 100% and increase by far your fiber intake.
Did you know that only 11.3 % of people meet the daily recommended intake of fiber but that most people consume 400% of their daily recommended intake of protein?
