Choosing plant protein foods over animal proteins provides powerful health advantages and can have a significant effect on climate change (greenhouse gas emissions, water use and pollution, and land use and acidification). In this presentation, Registered Dietitian Vesanto Melina will answer many of your most pressing questions about protein from plants. Do vegans and vegetarians get enough protein? If we adopt a plant-based diet, must we carefully combine beans and grains? Can top athletes compete successfully when their diets include no animal products? Are plant-exclusive diets suitable for every stage of the life cycle? Can seniors avoid sarcopenia while eating only plants? What are the environmental impacts of going plant-based?
