If my understanding is correct, soy beans have all of the protiens the human
body needs.  Aside from soy beans, all one has to do is eat beans and rice

"Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because
he had achieved so much... the wheel, New York, wars, and so on, whilst all
the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.
But conversely the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than
man for precisely the same reasons." - Douglas Adams
