Protein Myth

When I speak of being Vegan or suggest to my clients that they adopt a Vegan diet I am always asked "what about protein".  I have begun to shorten my response to something like the following:

"Do you know how big a cow gets?  Now tell me what a cow eats to get that big."

OK so it is not very informative but it gives them something to ponder.  And, by the way the correct answer would be grass/plants, not the antibiotics and growth hormones most cows are injected with these days.

Check out this awesome Protein Myth video by Tim VanOrden of Running Raw.  He will set you straight.  Amino acids, Baby!  You don't need protein.  Just eat raw food.  Enzymes!
