Commonly Asked Questions

“What about bacon?”

This is always my favorite question to be asked since my answer is always so shocking to people. Personally, I have never been that fond of bacon since it is has such a weird texture to me no matter how it is cooked. For me at least, after switching over to a plant based diet, all the meat based foods that I used to love become almost nauseating just thinking about them.
So eliminating bacon out of my diet was never a huge deal.

“How do you get protein?”

Incorporating protein into my diet can get a little tricky from time to time especially while having to eat Sodexo but there is always a way. Peanut butter has become a huge part of my diet just because of the high protein content (not complaining since it is so delicious). For me, it is one of the easiest ways to increase my protein intake since you can eat it with almost anything or just right out the jar.

Most foods that people eat on an everyday basis actually contain more protein then people think too. So even if I did not eat peanut butter, I could still get enough protein on a day to day basis with minor modifications to my diet.

“What can you eat?”

I never understood why people always asked this question since there is so many different foods that do not contain meat. Honestly, being vegetarian taught me about the extensive amount of foods out there that do not contain any meat products.

So anything you can think of that does not contain meat, I can eat.

Other questions that I also get asked include: "You're a vegetarian?", "What food do you miss most?", and my all time favorite "Why would you do that to yourself?!"
