Now, I'm to what is perhaps the most important thing you need to pay attention to when it comes to producing your own food: protein. It's also perhaps the most important thing to pay attention to when it comes to your diet in general. As nutritionists and people who work out have been saying for decades and as recent studies are finally backing up, vegetable proteins are just not equal to animal protein. The reason for this is very simple: complete proteins. No vegetable or combination of vegetables gives you the 21 amino acids you need like ANY 'complete protein' like beef, chicken, milk, eggs, etc does. Your body cannot produce these amino acids and you will literally fall apart like a two-bit Frankenstein monster if you don't get them. The vegan nut that just 'starved to death', aka, fell apart due to amino acid deficiency, is a sped up version of what happens to all vegans at the end of the day. She just took it to extremes and it happened in a matter of a few years instead of a decade. And when I say your body falls apart, I mean that the connective tissue breaks down and you leak fluids from your skin and into your body cavities, such as that vegan leaking lymph fluid from her legs in the weeks leading up to her death. This breakdown of connective tissue is very similar to what happens if you have scurvy (discussed in previous essays in this series) or catch Ebola. Needless to say, you don't want this to happen. To prevent this, you need access to complete proteins.
