Is vegan food actually filling?
Still hungry after meals? It’s not the plants. It’s how they’re built on your plate.

Plant-based athletes crushing it: Novak Djokovic, Lewis Hamilton, Venus Williams, Scott Jurek. The "you need meat for strength" argument died when these people started winning championships. Performance speaks louder than outdated nutrition myths.

Seitan: 75g protein per 100g
Chicken breast: 31g protein per 100g
One is called "fake meat." The other is considered the gold standard. Make it make sense.

Your body pools amino acids for 24+ hours. The "incomplete protein" panic? Outdated science from the 1970s. Eat varied foods throughout the day, and your amino acid profile takes care of itself. Rice + beans isn't required at every meal.

Omega-3 from algae oil = same DHA/EPA as fish oil, minus the ocean plastic, heavy metals, and fishy burps. Why are we still debating this?

Rookie vegan meal: plain pasta, steamed broccoli, anxiety about protein
Dialed-in meal: lentil-stuffed pasta, nutritional yeast, side of tahini-dressed kale
Protein: 8g → 35g. This is the upgrade.

Tired after workouts? You might be under-eating carbs. Plant-based athletes need 5-7g carbs per kg bodyweight. That's 350-490g for a 70kg person. Rice, oats, and potatoes aren't the enemy—they're your recovery fuel.

100g of nutritional yeast: 50g protein, all B vitamins, complete amino acids. 100g of chicken breast: 31g protein, basically no B12, no fiber. The math isn't even close.

The 'incomplete protein' myth needs to die. Your body pools amino acids for 24+ hours. Unless you're eating only rice for days, you're getting complete proteins. Mix your foods, win at nutrition.

Is it actually illegal to raise your child vegan?
No, there’s no country where simply feeding your kid a well-planned vegan diet lands you in jail.
The real legal issue is neglect and malnutrition, not the word “vegan” on its own.
