Guest guest Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hey there, as a new vegan I'm just amazed how many times I've already been asked " So where do you get your protein? " .... I know it must be funny after a while. So what is the quick and easy answer? I've just said " You get plenty of protein from vegetables, and people usually eat too much protein anyway. " Thanks!

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 My response is if there’s enough protein in plant foods to grow an elephant or hippopotamus, then surely there’s enough to grow a human being.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I just say, there's protein in everything you eat except fats. I actually don't get asked that question very much. The one I get and I find more difficult to answer is, where do you get your calcium?

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 from deep green veggies. there is 8 to 10 times more calcium in a serving of kale then in a 8 oz glass of milk.( not to mention the food and drug admin. allows up to 70 million puss cells per liter of milk.)--- On Mon, 4/26/10, Dena Jo <DenaJo2 wrote:Dena Jo <DenaJo2Re: New Vegan question Date: Monday, April 26, 2010, 7:54 PM I just say, there's protein in everything you eat except fats.
