I've heard and read wfpb docs like McDougall, Gregor, etc saying we shouldn't be consuming that much protein in a day. I dont doubt that wfpb protein is as good or better than non wfpb options, my concern is to go against doctors in this space who say it has a negative impact on kidneys and liver and is not recommended to get more than like 30-70g max.
The reason newspapers rarely print pro-plant protein comments or articles is financial. They accept advertising money from the meat, dairy, and egg industries unless there is a specific prohibition on them (there isn't). Also, ubiquitous advertisers in newspapers are restaurants and grocery stores, most/all of which profit from the sale of animal protein. It's unfortunate that most of the 'news' we get is through the biased lens of their financial interests.
