Where do you get your PROTEIN?!

Larabar, nuts, hummus, and quinoa

I found a nice little article here about protein and how much the average person really needs. Any vegan will tell you that the number one question posed to them by some curious (and skeptical) acquaintance is: where do you get your protein? Most Americans have been raised with the idea that meat is the best, if not the only, source for protein. We've also been led to believe that we need a LOT of it. Both beliefs are false of course; there are hundreds of foods you can devour to acquire your daily protein. And you might not need as much as you think.
It's quite satisfying to run across an article like this that is not aimed only at vegetarians and vegans, but everyone. It's good to shed light on all the misguided truths we believe in. So whether you are a carnivore or a vegan, know that you have choices when it comes to protein. Experiment!
