[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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).[/quote]
If you called yourself a vegetarian instead of “WFPB” people may understand better.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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![/quote]

I've been vegan for 20 years - I have never heard that term before either. Does it make you more special because you HAVE to explain your diet to literally everyone??[/quote]

NP. This is a good one. I think WFPB (which I'm trying to do-- aren't we all if we aren't already Veg/Vegan?) should not explain. Recently grabbed salad choices with colleagues and avoided the chicken salad (yuck) and a few other things, and one asked - "do you not eat meat"? Rather than going into plant based eating (and I DO eat meat sometimes), I just said "oh I eat everything but I'm really loading up on my veggies today".  EASY ANSWER! I didn't have to explain anything. Maybe we can all try that![/quote]

What does the term actually mean?[/quote]
