Hello Robert,

In my opinion, the statement you quote simply means that the greater variety of foods you consume the
great variety of nutritional ingredients you are eating, including a variety of amino acids (protein). Dr. Klaper
explains it on p. 28.

Pls. take a look at p. 28 in Dr. Klaper's book where he discusses protein. He makes is very clear 
that it is not necessary to combine proteins at each meal. He probably reallizes that Americans are obsessed 
with protein and tries to describe how easy it is to satisfy one's needs for protein. Every whole food a vegan 
eats (grains, legumes, veggies, fruits, nuts) contains protein,  Highly refined foods such as white sugar 
and vegetable oils do not. Not to worry about protein as long as one is eating a variety of whole foods 
throughout the day and enough calories to sustain one's energy.

I like his observations and tips about listening to one's own body with respect to food choices.
