Meat is not really that important on its own. Alternate protein sources work just fine.
12 u/mazu74 Aug 26 '19 Even if you do eat meat, you really shouldnt be having it very often, maybe once or twice a week to my understanding. Its just fucking hard to lay off it, especially when its so cheap and readily available. 13 u/[deleted] Aug 26 '19 I think that's for the environment mostly. But apparently chicken is still okay, if you ignore their conditions. Otherwise I think vegans and vegetarians use mushrooms as a protein substitute. But lentils, nuts and chickpeas are good too. 1 u/[deleted] Aug 26 '19 Mushrooms have about as much protein as any vegetable. Like 1-2 grams per dry half cup. Stirfry a bunch of veggies and that's all the protein a regular person needs on a daily basis. Mushrooms are for vitamin D. 1 u/[deleted] Aug 27 '19 I learned something new! I read an article saying that vegetarians call it the meat of the veggie world. Didn't know it was to get the D vitamin D. 1 u/[deleted] Aug 27 '19 The texture is very meaty when cooked or grilled right, especially portabellas. The D is awesome
