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

Where do I get my protein?

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).

Well you’re just mean then. I’m an American living in Europe, and often have Europeans tell me the same kind of anecdotes about their experiences in America. And I listen happily and really do care. Let me guess. You’re German?


+1 to this. When we stop caring and stop being curious and trying to find similarities... that's when we disconnect and are apathetic about war.

Same. It's hard to NOT get enough protein in a balanced diet. People going on and on about protein are just eating too much of one thing (probably the wrong thing) and are going to be overweight with kidney stones in the end. Eat food, mostly plants.

I chose to live in a townhouse because I don’t like spending my weekends doing a ton of yard work. And no I don’t mind stairs nor shared walls.

Fruit won't make you fat. Not even a bunch of grapes. Maybe a bunch of grapes, juiced, fermented, but even that is debatable.

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

Seeing as how you’re exactly wrong, I can imagine you find yourself “explaining” a lot.

Ha! I totally relate (because of DD, not me) and I wouldn’t even try to explain it. I could never make it sound anything other than a mixture of making excuses, being dramatic, and humble bragging.

A strawberry birthmark. If I had a dollar for every person that’s asked me how I burned myself….

Same. I’m just grateful that the supports we have in place for her have helped a ton and she’s doing really well now. She’s in 8th grade and I know hs is going to be a challenge.

Clicked on this thread to say exactly the opposite. The people who are most successful in business and law are not necessarily the smartest. Those with innate genius-level intelligence may not be able to parlay it into being successful.


YMMV.
