Guest guest Posted February 2, 2002 Report Share Posted February 2, 2002 Everything has protein, since protein is a necessarily component for plant growth, as well as animal growth. But high-protein plant-foods include beans, nuts, seeds, and products derived from them: peanut butter, hummus, etc. We know that broccoli and a handful of other supervegetables have more protein calorie-for-calorie than steak or any other cut of meat, so there's no real question here whether or not you're going to be serving any protein. In my opinion the only REAL questions you have are whether or not you're going to keep those dinner invitations and whether or not you're going to retain this couple as friends. I'd strongly urge a " NO " vote on both of these issues, but also urge you to find some tactful way to let the dinner invitation get cancelled and to just never again invite them to food-related events UNLESS it's to a local vegetarian society event or a visit by Dr. Michael Klaper or Dr. Reed Mangels or Robert Cohen. Why is that my position? Because you have a family to rear, and all that takes time. Don't anguish because you have difficult friends. Not only is YOUR life too short, but your time with your family and REAL friends is also cut short by allocating precious time and resources to those who will only continue to drain you. Maynard S.
