If this was the case then why did we start eating meat in the first
place? If because it tastes good, *why* do we think meat tastes good?
And I must say, one serving of beans doesn't seem to give anywhere the
amount of protein that a serving of lean meat does. More fiber, less
fat, yes, but 8g vs. 17+g of protein.

Speaking of which, one idea the calorie-restriction people kick around
is whether previous nutritional research, particularly on the benefits
of vegetarianism and low-fatness, were actually studies of mild calorie
restriction. Is it "fat bad (for some chemical reason)" or "excess
calories bad, and fat translates to lots of calories"?
