How can vegetarian animals (cows, horses, etc.) get enough protein to build their muscles?
Animals get protein from plant sources. The only reason that MEAT contains protein is because the animals eat plants with amino acids and those amino acids in their bodies cause their bodies to create other amino acids and together they are protein. It works that way in our bodies, too ( we’re high protein)! Carnivore meat has protein because they eat animals that eat PLANTS! That’s why carnivores don’t eat other carnivores. In fact, carnivores will eat the intestines of their kill because that’s where the nutrients are (yep – the PLANTS that the animal ate). If you trace back where the protein in all meat comes from you would find it comes from the amino acids that come from PLANTS as well as the amino acids that every body creates on it’s own. Vegetarians cut out the middle man and go straight to the protein source..PLANTS! Vegetables, grains, and legumes are RICH in proteins! Pretty interesting, eh?
