You hit on one of my favorite topics! If you do a search on 'vegan' or 'vegetarian', both myself and SS has noted different things that we eat.
It IS possible to get a healthy diet while eating no animal products! I am building muscle at the gym right now (ok ok baby muscles, but it's SOMETHING) and am requiring alittle more protein than normal. Allthough it is a little toough getting it all, on days I run short I have an excellent (but yucky tasting) protein powder (soy) and that makes up the difference. But for someone that is not building muscle, I don't believe you need that much, just as long as you have a source of it at every meal. Beans, lentils, PB, tempeh, tofu not so much, and Boca Burgers are all great choices.
That protein all adds up, you would be suprised what foods it sneaks into! Even the pretzels I eat has 3 grams a serving!
