This is HIGHLY debateable. There are types of proteins that are essential for healthy living that don't exist in vegetables.
I mean, you can always take vitamins for it, but yeah.

Even says so right in the article's mini-bio/footer:
Mark Bittman, who writes the Minimalist column in the Dining In and Dining Out sections, is the author of “How to Cook Everything Vegetarian,†which was published last year. He is not a vegetarian.

um...no, I didn't. I read that the FDA's recommendation is more than that, but the columnist thinks we could live on 30...
Americans are downing close to 200 pounds of meat, poultry and fish per capita per year (dairy and eggs are separate, and hardly insignificant), an increase of 50 pounds per person from 50 years ago. We each consume something like 110 grams of protein a day, about twice the federal government’s recommended allowance; of that, about 75 grams come from animal protein. (The recommended level is itself considered by many dietary experts to be higher than it needs to be.) It’s likely that most of us would do just fine on around 30 grams of protein a day, virtually all of it from plant sources.

I've read down the lines on both sides, and honestly, the case studies that have been performed by both sides are so morally skewed that "fact" is thrown into the wind in place of twisted results that are based on frequently false postulates.
Morals and science just plain don't mix a lot of the time.
On the other hand, the egg is the ONLY natural food you can eat that has EVERY type of protein essential for human survival in one source.
I always thought that was pretty bad ass.
