Where Do You Get Your Protein?"
By far, and you probably know it as well as I do, one of the most common questions you will be asked when you dabble with raw foods is: "Sounds great, but... where do you get your protein? "
Well, I have known for years that to become protein deficient on ANY diet can take some doing (although isn't impossible), but on a raw diet there are some interesting surprises when it comes to discovering what has a little and what has a lot.
First of all, let's be clear that we are not eating protein per se, but amino acids which combine together to create protein. So as long as we are eating a good quantity and quality of food (ideally organic as standard) and eat a wide variety of foods in the necessary amounts, then our protein needs should be more than adequately met.
