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:

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.
I'm also a vegan and I can confirm what you affirm. A vegan diet keeps you healthier and fitter.
... keeps away from diseases and can lead a very happy life.
and starving ... joking ;)
No, not starving! I'm definitely not! 😂
Huh, that's actually pretty interesting. I wonder what sort of plant protein Africans usually consume?
That's a good question

I see! Thank you for searching and sharing!
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.
A very good graphic representation, indeed!
great chart, thanks for sharing.
