You're actually wrong, and you're bleating the same argument that all vegans and vegetarians do; that plants contain all the protiens they need.
This is a pipedream. Yes, you can get protiens in the vegetarian diet, but NOWHERE NEAR enough or as much as someone with an omnivorous diet. Beans, a few types of plant, yeah, you'd have to eat so many of those per day to get the RDA of protien, that you'd have to start and end your day eating.

Actually, soya and mushroom textured Tempeh, Tofu and Miso-based foods along with Quorn can easily supply you with the daily RDA. Omnivorous diets far surpass the RDA in the way that vegetarian diets far surpass the starch and glucose RDA. So, when you say 'nowhere near enough' it's untrue, because it does give you enough if eaten enough. Basically though, a vegetarian diet with textured mycoprotein foods can easily provide you with enough protein and can also help children grow to their full potential in the same way meats can.
