Yes Vegans Can

I read this today and it range very true.

I get a lot of these questions posed to me pretty much daily once the person asking knows I am a vegan. It can be annoying and frustrating to have to answer them over and over again but I am trying to realize that the more times I answer the more people are being educated.

There are many myths about veganism. Just to set the record straight, here are 25 things that vegans can do!

Yes vegans can...

...get enough protein.

...be successful professionals.

...step on bugs accidentally.

...be body builders.

...avoid eating soy.

...shave their armpits.

...kill less plants by eating plants than animals.

...eat at a non-vegan restaurant.

...win an athletic competition.

...get enough calcium without milk.

...accidentally eat something that's not vegan.

...own a leather jacket from their pre-vegan days.

...eat cooked food.

...resist "cheating."

...be healthy and live long.

...be straight men.

...drink alcohol.

...have "pets."

...care about humans just as much as animals.

...be straight women.

...eat junk food.

...be Christians, or any other religion.
