Yeah, and I wouldn't go with the grains. So the grains are only like 10% protein. Beans are 20%. Soybeans are like 40%. And actually, the amino acid profile of soy is better than any other bean. So the Asians who were doing soy milk, tempeh, tofu for so long, pretty smart. But actually, there's an interesting issue in the U.S. compared to other countries in the world is how few beans we eat.

And beans are super versatile. So you've got Red Red in Ghana, and you've got hummus in the Mediterranean, and you've got tacos and burritos and things in Latin America. Yeah. Or it's an Indian, you've got dals and lentils and things like that. That whole legume family is the best source of quality protein for the plant eaters.

And so it's really a shame that sort of the quality thing is like, oh, plant foods... don't have quality protein, they're missing amino acids. So if I can add that to the pool, so the two standard variations, no place to store it, and plants are better sources of protein than most people think. And so that's why there are vegan bodybuilders.

You can win a gold medal in a bodybuilding competition strictly on plant proteins because they're not missing. So if I could just help dispel that myth, they're not missing, they're not absent, There is something to the proportions of protein. So if you were to see the grid of the heat map of amino acids that I'll share with you later.

Almost identical, all the way down the list of foods that I have. Leucine is not a problem in plant food. The problem in plant foods is it's low in lysine for grains and it's low in methionine for beans. They're actually called limiting amino acids because they would run out. If you only ate grains or you only ate beans, they would run out first. And then you'd be screwed.

You can't actually substitute another amino acid for a hormone or an enzyme. You have to have all the amino acids in the proportions you want. And that's where the complementary thing came in because grains, although they're low in lysine, are a little high in methionine. And beans, which are low in methionine, are a little high in lysine. If you ate them together, it would be closer –

to the proportions in meat, meat would still be better. Because animals are animals and we're animals, the proportions are perfect in animals. But what most people in this conference where I presented to, the chefs, their jaws were on the floor. Seriously, the proportions are that similar? God, that is mind-boggling that they're that similar. I realize they're not perfect.
