My bad, meant to include that.

Fine either way, I think. (I'll also share this with my vegan sister, who I worry about.)

My parents are vegan too, and I've gone over the protein problem with them. The trouble is there's so much bad info out there suggesting it is trivial to get protein without meat and it's not. I think the only 3 viable options are tofu, seitan, or protein supplements. Nutrtional yeast is an option I didn't include since you need eat more of it than people are generally comfortable with, a cup or even a quarter cup, is a lot of nootch.

Vegetarians and vegans need one of those if they want their minimum protein. Can't just eat whatever and call it a day and expect to be healthy. Although low protein diets can be handy for people with kidney disease.
