This graphic breaks down how people in different regions of the world get their protein intake. The figures come from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (UN FAO), accessed via Our World in Data.

The figures we present here reflect the distribution of daily protein intake across regions, with each region’s total adding up to 100%. It’s important to note that this is distinct from the actual amount of protein consumed per person, often measured in grams.

I'm a vegan, all of my protein comes from plants. I'm a devout of Ayurveda and I can affirm that if anyone follows vegan diet keeps away from diseases and can lead a very happy life.

What do the numbers on the graphic mean?

My understanding of plant based protein is that they're of a far lower quality, and not as well absorbed as animal protein. Just like iron pills vs. iron from beef. My friend had anemia for moths, while trying all kinds of different iron pills. After a friend told her to switch to beef, her anemia cleared up within 2 weeks.

Personally I have encountered huge health benefits from going carnivore. Here's a bit of what I've written on Stacker News on the topic:

Carnivore diet - believe it or not, it healed this oddball disorder for me Can a keto/carnivore diet heal issues like depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar? Latest steps in my carnivore path - and why you should consider a carnivore diet Carnivore achievements unlocked Taking a temporary break from mostly-carnivore diet during holidays Sugar and Alzheimers Kinda-carnivore diet is leading to WAY more energy Question for carnivores/carnivore-curious folks I'm transitioning ... to a more MEAT centric diet This book is blowing my mind - The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholtz

Thanks for the reply with many enthusiastic links suggesting the benifits of non-vegan foods.

I've no issues with the peope eating animal based foods. But, for your links, I can reply you with more links than you provided. But, I wouldn't do that because I respect people's choices for the necessities of life.

My choice is mine and I have no objection to yours.

Huh, that's actually pretty interesting. I wonder what sort of plant protein Africans usually consume?

That's a good question

While the current diet of a significant part of the population of SSA is mainly plant-based, consisting mainly of cassava, sorghum, millet, soybean, wheat and various legumes and pulses (([63]) Noort et al., 2022),

Foods like lentils (dal), chickpeas (chana), paneer, eggs, curd and cheese are great sources of protein that are already a part of everyday life in Indian households. Regular consumption of these foods can help meet daily protein requirements and promote overall fitness.
