When I tell people I quit eating meat over a year ago, I always seem to get the following question... "how are you getting enough protein?" "You HAVE to eat meat in order to get enough protein." It's as if I'm going to collapse and die because plants that I eat will not provide enough protein. THESE PEOPLE COULDN'T BE MORE WRONG!
These days people have been brain washed by the cattle industry to believe they have to eat meat to get their daily requirement of protein. So the cattle industry (who make billions) can justified the slaughter of billions of cattle every year and make people comfortable (even feeling good) to eat that EXPENSIVE steak.
Moringa leaves are not only rich in protein (100g dry powder), but this protein source is also of high value to the human body. It contains all essential amino acids including those containing Sulphur (Cystein & Methionine). Moringa is far higher in protein than any other plant protein.
I also include eggs in my diet. Guess what, I don't have to kill chickens to get protein... egg whites happen to be loaded with protein.

Eggs contain high quality protein, so high that it is used as the standard by which other foods are measured. ...

Many vegetarians include eggs in their diet, while still abstaining from eating chicken, cows, pigs, fish and all animals. According to terminology, you're an "ovo-vegetarian," that is, a vegetarian who eats eggs. Note that while eggs are vegetarian, they are certainly, under no circumstances, considered vegan.

As always I urge you to do your own research and remember I am not a doctor so always check with your doctor before using any spice, herb or plant. (I only say this to avoid lawsuits). And always remember, your doctor makes money by writing drug prescriptions and they don't study natural healing methods (for the most part... some do) .
