Definition for Ladies Spring 2014 Issue 001 April 2014 | Page 86

People say and ask the darnedest things sometimes, don’t they? As vegans and fitness enthusiasts,
there are certain questions we can almost guarantee
we’ll have to answer regularly. We’ve included a
range of answers, spanning from serious to sarcastic
to silly, that we would give to common questions.
Feel free to use these responses, or a combination
of approaches, the next time you find yourself
confronted with a similar question.

“I can promise you I get more protein as a vegan than I ever did
before. It’s in so many more foods than just meat and
dairy. Tofu, tempeh, quinoa, beans, nuts and kale
are just a few of my favorites.”
“I get my protein from eating the people
who ask me that question.”
“Same place cows get theirs. Many animals build
protein from plants and skipping the middle man is
a cleaner, more easily digestible, source that is also more
morally in line with my belief that we should do our part not to contribute to the destruction of the planet.”
