There used to be a join in vegan circles. How many vegans does it take to change a lightbulb? The answer: I don’t know – but where do you get your protein!

That’s all anyone ever seems to ask people who live on plants. The answer is – like everyone else – from a balanced blend of foods! The only people at serious risk of protein deficiency are people who are literally starving or anorexics (or are self-starving).
