Best Answer

Vegetable protein is the most important component, as the majority of the world's population cannot afford animal protein. Additionally, there are countries, such as India, where they are forbidden by their religion to eat some meats.

What food group is marshmallow in?

Marshmallow is a type of confectionery that is typically made from sugar, water and gelatin. In that sugar is derived from a sugarcane plant, there is a vegetable component here, whereas gelatin is a protein base from animals, so there's animal component there. Would we say that marshmallow belongs to either the vegetable or meat groups? Both seem kind of extraneous, as marshmallow has no nutritional value and is not a typical vegetable or meat product, but only made up of minute derivative elements of both.
