While one cannot technically be some percentage vegan, I think that it is a good way of illustrating the point: VEGANS EAT FOOD. My friend's father always forgets that I do not eat animals. He asks me every time that he rediscovers this twelve year old fact: "Where do you get your protein?" I always say that I get protein from food. All unprocessed foods have protein and I get the bulk of it from mwhole grains and nuts.
