English: Cows

"The biggest animals--elephants, gorillas, rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, and giraffes --all eat predominantly green vegetation.  How did they get the protein to get so big?  Obviously, greens pack a powerful protein punch.  In fact, all protein on the planet was formed from the effect of sunlight on green plants.  The cow didn't eat another cow to form the protein in it's muscles, which we call steak.  The protein wasn't formed out of thin air--the cow ate grass.  Not that protein is such a bid deal or some special nutrient to be held in high esteem.  I am making this point because most people think animal products are necessary for a diet to include adequate protein.  I am merely illustrating how easy it is to consume more than enough protein while at the same time avoiding risky cancer--promoting effects of too many animal products.  Consuming more plant protein is also the key to achieving sage and successful weight loss."
