I'm not convinced that not getting 30 grams every day of protein would
be bad for me. Perhaps I'm skeptical because I have no faith at all in
the FDA.

Jon:

Protein and fiber are two different things. I don't know if you just used the wrong word, or are confusing the two terms.
The structural components of all your cells are composed of various proteins which can be further broken down into amino acids. Around 60 Billion cells (that's Billion with a "B"), die each day due to apoptosis (programmed cell death).

You ***NEED*** protein intake to rebuild & replace those cells. Egg whites, Greek yogurt, Protein powder, whatever.

Look up apoptosis.

Fiber? Add some prune juice to your juicers. LOL
