Asteroids range in size from Ceres-the largest at about 950 kilometers (590 miles) in diameter and also identified as a dwarf planet-to bodies that are less than 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) across. The total mass of all the asteroids combined is less than that of Earth's Moon.
While much of the protein in the American diet comes from beef and pork, this isn't necessarily the case around the world. People in some countries eat little or no meat, getting much of their protein from vegetarian protein sources, and some people get their protein from foods many Americans have never tried.
The soybean is one of the richest and cheapest sources of protein and is a staple in the diets of people and animals in numerous parts of the world. The seed contains 17 percent oil and 63 percent meal, 50 percent of which is protein. Because soybeans contain no starch, they are a good source of protein for diabetics.
