1. More thoughts on protein in human nutrition. Remember that cereals supply a greater proportion of crude protein in humanity's diet than all animal source foods (ASF), combined. 
2. Wheat provides almost half of that portion, a greater amount than any single ASF!
3. But the quality of that protein is poor, especially for children...
4. and processing *dramatically* reduces its Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS), decreasing the digestibility of the already low level of indispensable amino acids.
5. Processing ASF (in this case #pork) does not result in that dramatic reduction in the DIAAS. In some cases it increases.
