Do Elephants Eat Cows For Protein?

By far, the most base demand I hear is:

"If I don't eat meat, or as much meat, where do I get my protein?" Sound familiar?

Aged Beef Steaks

Let's cut to the chase - the protein chase. I'm a uncomplicated kind of girl so I ask uncomplicated kind of questions. I don't do complicated - complicated confuses me and the last thing I need is to be more confused. That's a scary thought.

In the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, Cut from the strip loin part of the sirloin, the strip steak consists of a muscle that does little work, and so it is particularly tender, though not as tender as the nearby ribeye or tenderloin (fat content of the strip is somewhere between these two cuts, allowing for a flavor profile to match). Unlike the nearby tenderloin, the strip loin is a sizable muscle, allowing it to be cut into the larger portions favored by many steak eaters. The Kansas City strip steak usually has a portion of the bone connected, whereas the New York strip steak is boneless. Always fresh, never frozen. All our USDA Prime meat is custom cut to order, wrapped in trays with film paper and double wrap in wax paper.

Just for grins and giggles, let's have fun with protein and see if my base sense speaks to your base sense.

8 Very uncomplicated Protein Questions:

#1 base Sense Protein Question: "Do elephants eat hamburgers?"

As you know, protein is for growth, among many other things. Like the increase of muscles. Have you ever heard of an elephant, giraffe, ape, cow, or horse eating hamburgers, chicken, fish, or even protein drinks to get adequate protein to grow great, big muscles? No, of procedure not.

If elephants can eat plant foods to get plentifulness of protein, so can we with our relatively minute muscles and bodies.

#2 base Sense Protein Question: "Do elephants have to mix and match plant foods to get a 'complete protein'?"

Oh, yeah, right. I can just see it now. An elephant making sure he eats just the right plant foods to get just the right combo of proteins. I don't think so.

My brain says: If they don't have to mix and match, neither do we.

#3 base Sense Protein Question: "But aren't we distinct from elephants?"

Good question. Yes, elephants are a wee bit distinct than us. No, duh, as the kids say. But this is the base sense point:

If a small variety of plant foods can provide the right quantity and potential of protein requisite to grow and contend a great big mammal like an elephant, then isn't it logical that plant foods, and a much larger variety at that, can provide population with adequate protein to grow and contend our relatively minute muscles, bones, tissues, and organs?

My base sense says, "Yes." What does your base sense tell you?

#4 base Sense Protein Question: "At what time in life do human beings need the most protein?"

Okay, so you can't quite wrap your brain colse to the fact that elephants and humans can be compared--that can be a big leap--elephants to people. That's fair enough. So I'll tell you what--let's talk about just people--little people, as in babies.

Our cute minute babies tell the whole protein story. See for yourself.

Again, what is the purpose of protein?

You've got it! Growth. When do we grow the most? From the ages of 0 to 2. Right?

What is the very best food for 0 to 2 year olds? Mamas' milk.

How much protein do you suppose is in mama's milk? 15%, 25%, or 30% protein? Guess again.

This may knock your socks off, but human milk contains only 4.5% to 5% protein--that's all.

If 4.5% to 5% protein is plentifulness of protein to meet the growing needs of babies, then that same estimate of protein, and even less, is plentifulness for us big people. We've stopped growing.

#5 base Sense Protein Question: "How much protein is in an orange?"

Hang on. Shock factor coming. An orange has 8% protein. Whoa! Isn't that unbelievable? An orange with 8% protein?

Remember, rapidly growing babies only need 4.5% to 5% protein. At 8% protein, oranges not only have adequate protein, they easily have an plentifulness of protein.

What about other plants?

Spinach: 49% protein

Broccoli: 33%

Cauliflower: 26%

Romaine lettuce: 36% (imagine that much protein in that watery, green stuff!)

Corn: 11%

Kale: 22%

Cucumber: 24%

Potato: 11%

Carrot: 10%

Cantaloupe: 9%

Grapefruit: 8%

Berries: 7%

Tomato: 16%

Almonds: 13%

Pumpkin seeds: 17%

Brown Rice: 8%

Oats: 15%

Kidney beans: 26%

Looks to me like we get plentifulness of protein from eating plants.

We don't "have to" eat animal protein, which also comes with a lot of fat, cholesterol, extra calories, extra weight, extra diseases, and extra heartache. In fact, we don't even have to eat beans, tofu, or any other higher protein plant foods to get adequate protein.

Fruits and vegetables have plenty. Interesting, don't you think?

#6 base Sense Protein Question: "But isn't meat protein first-rate to plant protein?"

In a word, "No." That is a faultless myth that has been perpetuated for almost 100 years. No matter how much this boggles our brain-washed brains, meat protein is not first-rate to plant protein. The amino acids, or construction blocks that make up protein, are just the same either they come from a plant or animal.

Protein is protein is protein is protein, no matter what the source. If we eat adequate food (not a question in the U.S.), we get adequate of the "right" protein--even if the food sources are just plants.

#7 base Sense Protein Question: "But don't I need more protein for impel and energy?"

Okay, back to our friend, the elephant. Where do elephants get their impel and energy? Not from eating cows or protein bars, that's for sure. An elephant's power comes from plants - that's all there is to it.

Our best source of energy doesn't come from protein at all - it comes from carbohydrates found in whole, unrefined plant foods, like fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables capture the sun's energy and then generously pass it on to us.

The core energy we have (or don't have) today comes from the plant foods we ate (or didn't eat) - yesterday; not the so-called energy protein bar or steak (or that dark, liquid brew) we ate today.

#8 base Sense Protein Question: "How much protein does the World health society recommend?"

Good thinking. The Who recommends, not exactly a coincidence, the same estimate of protein that is found in human breast milk: 4.5% to 5% protein. Remember, oranges have 8% protein.

Is the protein fog beginning to lift a bit? There are lots of true experts out there, way, way smarter than I, who agree:

Plants provide us with plentifulness of protein for first-rate health and fitness - it's as uncomplicated as that. Bingo bango.

You may pick to eat beef, chicken, fish, and protein drinks, but you don't "have to." Aren't we lucky to have the gift of choice? What's not so lucky is that many of us forget that consequences succeed choices--sometimes immediately and sometimes many years down the road.

Good choices beget good consequences; bad choices, especially day after day bad choices, beget painful consequences.

It's your body and your life. You have the expected power to feed your body and your life or the power to deplete your body and your life.

Will your very next bite feed you or deplete you? It's your choice.
