Relatives, friends, and complete strangers constantly ask vegetarians and vegans where they get their protein. The truth is that the meat industry has spent countless years and dollars trying to convince the public that the only healthy protein is from animal products.

Fortunately, that’s not the truth. Meat, eggs, and dairy not only harm your health; they are leading contributors to climate change and cause inconceivable animal suffering. Say goodbye to meat and try some of these satisfying, protein-rich vegan dinners:
