I don't think it's difficult at all to get protein in a vegetarian diet (in a vegan diet, you may need to be more conscious). But if you drink soymilk, eat cheese, OR eat beans on a regular basis you are more than o.k. If you are at all conscious of eating healthy then you're fine. Even veggies have protein. Now if you're a body builder - you're going to have problems. Anyone trying to build up A LOT of muscle will need more than their fair share of protein. I disagree with the protein comment.

But, I think everyone reading should know that the chances of getting adequate protein from kale is slim...stick with a combination of grains, legumes, and nuts to get adequate protein. Can you imagine eating even half a pound of kale......that would be like 20 cups!!!! I never knew that kale was so high in protein.
