Your protein requirements are pretty low, and it would be hard to get more than 10% of your calories from protein anyway, otherwise you'd be overeating fat.

Raw plant protein is far more efficient anyway, which is why we don't need so much. Animal products may have a lot of protein, but since it is denatured it isn't as effective. Besides that, animals get their protein through plant foods so by eating animals humans are getting the protein second hand, another inefficiency.
