Meatrix: meat is necessary so animals must die and plant protein sucks.

Let's compare animal protein to it's plant-based counterparts. 

1. Protein Density & Cholesterol

	•	Seitan is nearly as protein-dense as steak but without cholesterol.
	•	Tempeh has high protein plus fiber, unlike steak, which has zero fiber.
	•	Tofu is still protein-rich and contains some fiber for better digestion.

2. Digestion & Gut Health

	•	Tempeh scores a perfect 1.0 PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score) and contains probiotics for gut health.
	•	Seitan is highly digestible and very protein-dense.
	•	Steak lacks fiber and probiotics, making it harder on digestion.

3. Sustainability & Environmental Impact

	•	Steak produces 60 kg of CO₂ per kg of meat, while tempeh produces only 0.5 kg—120x lower emissions.
	•	Steak requires 15,400 liters of water per kg, while seitan only needs 400 liters—38x less water.
	•	Steak uses 180 m² of land per kg, while tofu and tempeh need less than 3 m²—60x less land.
