My post is purely to bring attention to the fact that many people think eating vegetarian is healthy, no matter what they eat when there are in fact dangers and responsibilities people still need to take into account when planning their diet.

Also the "protein myth" as you call it is severely debunked. If you would care to come to Cambodia with me and see the race of 4.5 foot tall people living in the war ravaged areas - their height due to lack of protein in their diets as children. And yes they had plenty of fruits and Veg - they live in the jungle.
oriental immigrants in america are an example, i think japan too - something like 5 inches average higher height because of protein (meat)
