Is there any concern over the use of rice protein vs whey or another complete protein?
My understanding is that rice protein comes up short with the amount of Lysine present. Not sure if Lysine shows up in other ingredients at high enough levels to compensate.
There was an article a couple weeks back that mentioned they were looking into Spirulina as a protein source. It was mentioned as part of long term sustainability and bringing down the cost per meal. So providing a vegetarian/vegan formula may be part of their long term goal.
Though, still concerned about protein completeness in the current formula.
