(yes, I rated and commented on itunes and the podcast awards) I wanted to thank you for taking the vegetarian listener question. As a plant based athlete myself I would like to mention that all whole plant foods are complete proteins, especially starches and green vegetables. If you look at the essential amino acid content, you will see that there are no zeroes. Furthermore, the amounts are greater than the needs established by Rose's research that determined which amino acids were essential. Food combining is a stubborn myth that should be dispelled. If one consumes adequate calories from whole, unrefined plant foods, protein is not an issue. Perhaps in the future you can interview someone more knowledgeable than me like former pro triathletes Brendan Brazier or Rip Esselstyn for a different perspective. (like the salad destroyer you mentioned in the podcast!) Thanks again for an always intersting, thought provoking podcast! I’m a recent addition to your podcast audience, and I’m enjoying it a lot.
