#71 Where Do Vegans Get Their Protein? And Other Questions We’re Tired of Answering!

In this thought-provoking episode, I take on one of the most persistent questions vegans face: “Where do you get your protein?” Spoiler alert: I’ll also tell you why this obsession with vegan diets might just be misplaced—and why our focus should shift to far more important issues.

From the absurd stereotypes of vegan dining (“unicorn sprouts,” anyone?) to the biological truths about humans as herbivores, I’ll tackle the misconceptions head-on. Along the way, I’ll dive into why the strongest animals in the world (think gorillas and elephants) don’t eat meat, and why our own bodies are designed for plant-based eating.

But it’s not all science and statistics. We’ll talk about the ethical paradoxes of caring deeply about the environment while still eating meat and hear from those on the front lines of food production—slaughterhouse workers. This episode is a mix of facts, humour, and raw truths designed to make you think, laugh, and (hopefully) act.

If you’re concerned about the planet, curious about veganism, or just here to hear someone vent about being the token vegan at dinner parties, you’re in the right place.
