Proteins by Paramhansa Yogananda
Health Culture
Since herbivorous animals are able to build up complete proteins from plant food, it is assumed that seed proteins supplement those derived from the leafy or green parts of plants. Therefore, it is important, especially, for vegetarians, to include both parts in their diets. The seeds are, of course, grains, peas, beans, lentils, etc.
From the standpoint of protein supply as well as for vitamins and minerals, it is wise for vegetarians to include milk, buttermilk, cheese and eggs as a regular part of the well-planned dietary, for the human body seems to thrive best on a combination of proteins from both the animal and vegetable kingdoms.
