Disappointed to see meat propaganda in New Scientist

The article that popped up today: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2526684-the-3-things-you-need-to-know-about-protein-according-to-an-expert/

From the article:

> If you’re vegetarian or vegan, it’s absolutely possible for you to get enough protein through careful dietary choices – but it’s not easy. Meat, fish, dairy and eggs are much more abundant in protein than plants. To match the amount of protein found in 100 grams of chicken breast, you need to eat three cups of cooked beans or more than 200 almonds.

The article mentions nothing of more protein dense or bioavailable sources like tofu/tempeh/seitan.

The author has links to animal ag, the beef and dairy industry: https://www.pcrm.org/news/news-releases/new-dietary-guidelines-were-written-authors-strong-ties-food-industry-doctors#:\~:text=Donald%20Layman%2C%20PhD%2C%20FASN%3A%20Financial%20relationships%20with%20the%20National%20Cattlemen%E2%80%99s%20Beef%20Association%20and%20the%20National%20Dairy%20Council.
