She can also enjoy all of the additional advantages of cooked vegetables and the concentrated protein available in meat and fish. How many pounds of raw vegetables do you need to eat to get six ounces of protein?

It's just over 2 lbs. (soybeans), which is why vegans and vegetarians use sources other than raw vegetables. In a way it's like how omnivores don't just walk up to a grazing cow and bite it.
Besides, 6 oz of protein is well above what the average human requires in a daily diet; most only need 4 or 5 oz.
