There are enzymes in plant based foods, that help our bodies understand how to digest them.
Have a look online....You're the one trying to debate my reasons for not eating animal products, and you've only been putting conjecture.

Satire or stupidity?

I don't know can you tell me which one you did?

I do go heavy on the vegetables and grains, and could probably exist happily as a vegetarian, but I was not raised that way and do enjoy a steak now and again and REALLY love seafood.

Can't argue with a single point here....and yet I do find a steak on my plate every now and then.....

No you are making the claim, you back it up.

I agree, it is his claim therefore he bears the burden of proof. It is my understanding that plant enzymes help the plant, just like our enzymes help us with various functions. Our enzymes probably won't help a plant, so the reverse is probably true. Although some plant enzymes may be beneficial, I think most are destroyed by the digestive system.
I can only eat a cup and a half of food at a time and have a hard time meeting my daily protein goals without some meat but I try to make it a small part of my meal and stick to fish and some chicken. I could be better and I want to work on that.

You can use nuts, tofu, eggs, and such if you wish.
If you want I can give you some sources.
I do, eggs especially. Not nuts though. Not a lean enough source of protein. I avoid soy because of my doctor's recommendation (soy is linked to breast cancer which is in my immediate family.)
I don't think I'll be giving up fish any time soon, but I could cut the chicken.

Try spirulina, spinach, and broccoli.
I do, but it's not efficient enough for my small portion requirements. To get the same protein from a small fish fillet I'd need several cups of broccoli, for example. Way more than I can eat in a sitting. And they wouldn't be complete proteins either, so I'd have to add on somewhere else.
I do scrambled eggs and spinach and broccoli a lot though. That helps. And I do nuts sometimes, but only a handful.

Actually you do not.
You really do. Broccoli isn't that high protein per serving, despite what some vegan marketing may say.

That's not what it says in the USDA nutrition database. More like 2.82g of protein per 100g.

Yeah this is from a scientific findings not the USDA, they are very political.
Whose scientific findings? The only place o see it are also politically motivated vegan pages...

No mammal flesh, but their milk... CHEESE (yum!) is OK.
Basically, I eat poultry & fish.
(...and yes, I ignore the stoopid rabbinic prohibition against mixing dairy & poultry. Chicken Kiev... YUM!)

Would you please strap a knife to the center of my heart since I like omelettes and souffle made of 36 eggs? I cannot survive without duck/goose/pork /lamb/meat.
And the cheese, pls strap your knife double or triple to me if you hate me enjoying eating cheese. Do you know what would happen to farm animals if they were not under control of humans,they would go extinct.
Mother nature is harsher than we are.
