The proportion of the different amino-acids in vegetable protein is different than in animal protein. These differences may affect the amount of Tryptophan that actually enters the brain and is transformed to serotonin. There are also other factors to bear in mind, like the availability of vitamins that help the enzimes to make the conversion. To Rachel:

I find that hard to believe. I guess it's what you need in your diet as to whether what is the most healthy for you.

I get started on it. Add a little extra olive oil on top and some kalamata olives and I'm set for the day. I usedto suffer from depression - ended up in hospital 12 years ago twice - I went almost completely vegetarian - fish and chicken occasionally - so had to start eating beans, especially garbanzos in my daily salads and hummus to get my protein - I'm a five times a week tennis player (Age 65). I wonder if my new diet of mostly beans and seeds for protein has helped my depression which is none-existent now, despite the doctors telling me "I had it for life"! Little they knew!

They also contain triptophan, if I'm not mistaken. Granted, this is a hummus blog, but shouldn't you try to highlight where we might eat it most? (Meaning: the average American is more likely to eat chicken/turkey than hummus and so would relate this more keenly to their lives...?) Let me just say that it's way past my bedtime, I stumbled here, scanned your entry, and hurriedly typed a response. I apologize if I don't make much sense. But what about turkey and chicken?
