Tho I must admit that I would never get that close to the surface with my bare hands while doing this.

    Protein is protein and if this is where someone needs to get it, then this is what it will be

          Yes, you can. Lettuce has around 2 gramm per 100. Apples 0.3

          As comparison beef has 26.

          So while lettuce has much less, saying you can’t get proteins from it is just plain wrong.

            Both lettuce and apples are incomplete sources of protein and could not sustain a healthy diet.

            Fish is a complete source of protein.

              That was not the point and you know it. And of course you would have to add more vegetables to get a full set of all essential amino acids. But the statement “you can’t get proteins from lettuce” remains wrong. You absolutely can.

                Protein is protein and if this is where someone needs to get it, then this is what it will be

                It is the point, if fish is what someone needs to obtain complete protein then that’s what they’ll do. Lettuce is not a replacement for fish which is what was being implied.

                I understand if you have difficulty following basic comment chains and comprehending comments, with your lack of a balanced diet.
