Tip # 9: Stockpile Mental Ammo
When people start learning that you are adopting a new eating regime, they will barrage you with questions. The most common questions asked are:
? Where do you get your protein if you don?t eat meat?
? Where do you get your calcium if you don?t drink milk and eat cheese?
? Why are you eating like this?
You can do one of two things:
1. Use the philosophy that when a bull comes charging at you, just step aside. In other words, politely sidestep these discussions until you become familiar with the answers.
2. Or memorize the very simple answers to those questions and nip the questioning in the bud.
? Where do you get your protein if you don?t eat meat?
Answer #1: Where do cows, horses, giraffes, and large elephants get their protein to grow and maintain large, strong muscles? They do not eat cows or pigs or sheep or chickens or fish. They eat plant foods only and get plenty of protein to grow big, strong muscles.
Answer #2: What is protein for? Simply stated: protein is for growth. When do we grow the most? 0 to 2 years old. What is the best food for growing babies? Breast milk. How much protein is in breast milk? 4.5%.
The World Health Organization recommends 4.5% protein in our diet. Oranges have 8% protein; broccoli has 45% protein; brown rice has 8 % protein.
All of our plant foods give us plenty of protein.
But don?t you have to properly combine plant foods to make complete protein? Not at all.
Do cows and elephants have to combine plant foods to get complete protein? No, and neither do human beings!
The author Francis Lappe Moore, who popularized the mixing and matching of plant foods to get complete proteins, rescinded that idea many years later.
? Where do you get your calcium if you don?t drink milk or eat cheese?
Answer #1: Where do cows and elephants get their calcium for strong bones and teeth? Plant foods. They do not drink milk once they are weaned.
Cow?s milk is made for baby cows that can reach 800 pounds in one year. Cow?s milk is not nature?s best for human beings or any other mammal.
Answer #2: Humans are the only mammals who consume milk after weaning, and a different mammal?s milk at that.
Look to nature for simple, common sense answers
? Why are you eating like this? (And people will ask!)
Answer: Simply stated, ?Because it works for me.? The end. Do not try to justify your position and do not try to talk the other person into eating like you.
