Seriously. . . Where did you get your proteins?
Contrary to the misinformation spewed forth by uninformed people, there is no shortage of protein in a vegan diet. All amino acids are found in the plant kingdom with alfalfa sprouts, almonds, bananas, bean sprouts, brazil nuts, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, coconuts, corn, dates, eggplant, filberts, goji berries, okra, pecans, soy, spirulina (seaweed), squash, sunflower seeds, sweet potatoes, tempeh (fermented soy), tomatoes, walnuts and wheatgrass being complete proteins. However, consuming all amino acids at one meal is unnecessary. Meat, dairy and egg-eaters receive NO benefit from eating complete animalbased proteins except having a complete chance at cancer, osteoporosis and a host of other ailments. Cauliflower and broccoli are 40 percent protein while most other vegetables contain around 30 percent protein. Beans, brown rice, cacao/chocolate (genuine cacao/chocolate is a bean so it's naturally vegan), grains (all), hemp (milk/oil/powder/seed), lentils, lucuma (powder), maca (powder), mesquite (powder), non-dairy milks, nuts, seeds and all veggie meats are great sources of protein, too. Even fruit has around 5 percent protein, which is the same amount of protein human babies receive from mother's breast milk. For a detailed list of protein-rich foods, check out http://www.vrg.org/nutrition/protein.php. For an explanatory video about protein, check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITIIkDJiq5o. A friend recently asked me how to obtain the vegan equivalent of eight egg whites for his new work-out regimen. One egg white has 6.5 grams of protein. First, I find it odd that anyone would want 52 grams of protein at one meal. The meat, dairy and egg industries have done an excellent job of making everyone believe that they need EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS (25, 35, 50, even 60 or more percent) of protein in their diets. However, healthy protein intake—plant-based of

course—should be only around 1 0-1 5 percent of your diet. Anyone who recommends more than that is misinformed, uninformed, fatuous or lying. Again, the amount of protein in mother's breast milk is only 5 percent, measured in terms of caloric expenditure, yet breast milk spurs rapid growth in the infant through the first months and years of her life. Second, for all you muscleheads who think vegans can't be athletic or big, check out the VEG ATHLETES section on my adaptt.org site. Third, the following vegan items match egg whites in protein, are 1 00 times healthier and—ethically—there's no comparison: One cup of hemp seeds (use it in a smoothie, on top of cereal or salad, or make hemp milk); a little more than half a cup of the seaweed spirulina (use it in a smoothie or on a salad); three cups of lentils; one and a half cups of peanut butter; one and a half cups of flaxseeds (use it in a smoothie or on top of a salad); one and a half cups of pumpkin seeds; one and a half cups of almonds; four cups of beans.
What do you think about welfarism?
In the book Dominion, Matthew Scully explains that people have to choose between being radically kind or radically cruel. There is no comfortable "middle ground." That explains why the meat, dairy and egg-eating animal "welfare" movement - which includes vicious religious-based kosher and halal-style throat-slicings - is radically hypocritical and deceitful. Its REAL goal is to ensure that the enslavement and killing of billions of animals goes on forever, unabated. By definition alone, slaughter and slavery are radically cruel and can never be humane even if animals
