I know all these options are out there, but I find it hard to believe the average person is eating 10+ different animals in a week.
Sure. But if someone isn't eating a varied diet, becoming vegan or vegetarian isn't going to fix that.
It could actually help, inadvertently. When I became vegan I could no longer fall back on my old comfort meals without modifying them. Limitations breed creativity.
But isn't OP saying that meat options are limited? OP clearly isn't impressed with the creativity that bread.
If we include seafood, I definitely do.
But to be fair, I don't think the average person is eating that varied a diet. I am not going to make the claim people on a plant-based diet can't get protein, they can, but they probably aren't getting 10+ different sources of it either.
Variety is the spice of life! I went vegan nearly seven years ago and never had an issue with protein deficiency. Is there a benefit to having a high number of protein sources?
