Ever since I've been a vegan
Its been like a broken record
An irritating sound byte
Looping round and round for ever
where do you.. where do you ...
Where do you get your protein?
Where do you get your protein?
WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR PROTEIN?
TELL ME WHERE
Apples are 2% protein
Bananas are 5% protein
Oranges are 8% protein
and Tomatoes are 19% protein
where do you.. where do you ...
Where do you get your protein?
Where do you get your protein?
Lettuce: 36% protein
Spinach is 50% protein (five, oh)
Potatoes are 18% protein
where do you.. where do you ...
Where do you get your protein?
Where do you get your protein?
WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR PROTEIN?
TELL ME WHERE
Beans range from 20 to 58 percent
Depending on the type of bean
Seeds and nuts give us protein gluts
While keeping our arteries clean
Broccoli's got a big three three (33 percent)
Lentil's a'gotta big three four (34 percent)
Soybeans score the big three five
And the main thing is - I'm alive
I'm a vegan and I'm actually still alive!
OMG, LOL, WTF - where where where where
where where where where where do you get your protein?
Shrooms, shrooms, mush, mush
shrooms, shrooms, mush, mush
What about mushrooms
Fun guy?
Mushrooms contain
As portion of total calories
fifty six percent protein!
And in case you want to know about meat
The animal flesh that some people eat
Well beef can contain up to 40 percent protein
Way less than a kidney bean!
The average American consumes about double the protein his or her own body needs
The truth is that excessive consumption of animal protein badly weakens our bodies
If a varied diet sufficient in calories is consumed its virtually impossible to get an inadequate protein intake.
Just because our bodies have a vital need for a substance, doesn't mean that twice or three times our need is even better.
I think I've had enough!
