And as others have said, aging people need more, not less, high quality protein to avoid muscle wasting and frailty.

Totally with you.
Last I checked I am not a cow!!! Cows snd sheep and other riminants have a huge gut system. A huge rumen to collect a huge volume of young grasses, then they ruminate and ruminate to release the nutrients.
