What's something that you get really sick and tired of having to explain to people?

So annoying! Educate yourself before asking something so ridiculous.
I am not protein deficient now nor have I ever been in the 7 years that I have been eating WFPB. In fact, I can actually strength train and grow my muscles substantially(mind-blown).

If you called yourself a vegetarian instead of “WFPB” people may understand better.

PP. But I'm NOT vegetarian. I don't eat dairy or eggs. Whole Food Plant Based is the only way to describe how I eat.

Is that vegan? I think saying "mostly vegan" would probably be less confusing. I am a lifelong vegetarian who works in animal welfare and I never ever hear anyone describe their diet as WFPB and would actually have zero idea of what it means if you said it to me. So yeah I'd ask!

Liberal is best used to describe permissiveness on social issues, and in the rest of the world, it refers to free market economics or neoliberalism. I’m cool with social progressives and Democrats who are pro LGBTQ and abortion being called “liberals,” but I can’t stand it when AOC, Bernie, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are called “more liberal” when referring to their economic policies.

I associate with a lot of leftists. They hate “liberals.”

Right, because they think we're namby pamby neocons - while we liberals think they are basically not so far from the fringe right and they're making the rest of us look bad! Luckily the Dem party is a big tent.

Well, it's a better substitute. So give that up.

It isn't, actually.

Sorry, with your occasional article with no generalization to all of educational practice.
When we ask kids to write everything, we discount the effort of actual production over the skill of "writing." Actually "writing" isn't the cognitive process of writing. We want the cognition of writing, note taking to supersede the motor, spelling, and format issues every damn time. You clearly aren't in an educational setting unless this is an Amish situation, but there's no teacher who advocates handwriting over word processing in research or writing skills. Not one.

Ah, 24 children huh? And only 12 were were 12? Who cares what the sample size was, heck, I'll jump on it.

Wow, well, that changes EVERYTHING. I am gobsmacked. Let me redo my entire 35 years of teaching based upon this opinion.

This is not true for everyone. I know several people who are thin and underweight. If they do not eat more than they want and often, they will lose weight. My father was like this. After he retired, he had the problem that he started losing weight. He had to eat about 6-8 times per day or eat until he was uncomfortable to avoid losing weight. He was 5'6". When he was working, he weighed about 120 and was a healthy weight. After he retired, his weight dropped to 108 and he had to choose the above path to get back to 112-115 and hold it there.

I've known several people who were younger, but had similar issues.

So, people like you who use one-size-fits all rules for eating are part of the problem. What you say may be true for those who tend towards overweight/obese, but it's not universal by any means.

Oh dear. You're sick and tired of having to explain this? Who were you trying to explain it to? Because unless you're trying to teach this to your kids you have no business telling somebody this (and IMO it's not even good to tell your kids this, it's better to teach them about eating things that make them eel good and honoring their hunger signals).

That just because I’m a single parent doesn’t mean I’m poor, uneducated and struggling. I think it’s easier to be a single parent.

I hate tailgaters.

I also hate people who drive under the speed limit, especially when they're impeding the flow of traffic. It's annoying and illogical. And discourteous to those behind you. Slow drivers can also be a hazard on highways.

Why, WHY do you drive under the speed limit?

There are lots of studies actually including the higher value of taking notes by hand vs. keyboarding. You can look them up yourselves if you're interested.

As the title says, I get really sick and tired of having to explain this to people.

I'm always telling people that I'm not Latina, which comes as a surprise. I look very Latina to people and they are usually taken aback when I tell them that I don't speak Spanish either.

There aren't. This comes from right wing circles and not academia. There are plenty of backward religious schools, though, who would accommodate you and back you up. You are 40 years behind.
