I would like to preface the text bellow with the following: I've been plant based for 10 years eating animal products only on certain ocasions. I prioritize whole plant foods as much as I can.
With that said, the image is not correct. For example, Soy beans have around 18g of protein per 100g serving whereas a T bone steak has 27g of protein per 100g serving and ground beef has 25g of protein.
I'm all for promoting plant based foods since they have a lot more to offer than animal products, like more vitamins and minerals, fiber and phytonutrients. Spreading wrong information will do more harm than good in the end.
Can you get soy in large quantities cheaply? Genuine question, my local markets don't seem to have a lot of soy anything around that isn't specialty and expensive.
I don't know since I personally don't use soy beans a lot, I prefer lentils and other beans (black beans, brown beans, chickpeas, etc).
You might be able to order TVP from a bulk trader or even from across the globe. The stuff is very lightweight and doesn't go bad for many months (I'd wager even for many years, but I haven't tried 🙃).
