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!
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??
I always assume whole food meant no processed food. You can certainly be vegan and eat processed meat analogs, so assume WFPB posters does not.
I wish WFPB poster would come back and explain.
People understand "vegan." Adding "I only eat whole foods" might come in handy if you're asked why you are declining to eat a Boca Burger. But what exactly is the point of telling people "my diet is whole foods plant based" if nobody knows what that means? And why would she deny being vegan if she only eats plant based foods. It's like she's just trying hard to be confusing.
People often don't understand vegan, but that's beside the point. I don't understand what's so confusing about WFPB diets. I love meat. Even though I'm not a vegetarian, I can grasp the concept of both whole foods (minimally processed, few ingredients, natural) and plant based (sourced from plants rather than animals). Most vegans and vegetarians I know aren't eating processed meat substitutes. They are avoiding meat, not looking to find some frankensteined meat substitute. Most of the vegans I know eat WFPB diets, but it's the PB part that makes them vegan. The WF part is an add on. Also, most vegans I know are pretty devoted to avoiding animal products, including leather products and honey, and it extends beyond food into cosmetics and all facets of life where it's possible to control if animals were involved. Anyway, I don't know if WFPB diet folks who describe themselves that way rather than vegan are devoted to avoiding all animal products or if it's only diet. I guess that would be a personal decision.

Antifa the group is much different from what anti-fascist actually means.

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!
