True.

That's seems like a strange argument to me. Why to insist that we should get the protein specifically from cheese? Not that it would be hard mix some protein powder in, but why has the protein be in the cheese?
The stomach doesn't care, the body doesn't care where it gets its protein. Why should you, as long as you get your protein from somewhere?
We already get 63% of protein and 82% of calories from plants. It's not hard to go all the way.
