From Rip Esselstyn, a former world-class professional tri-athlete, firefighter, and the son, grandson and great-grandson of renowned physicians: "Ample amounts of protein are thriving in whole, natural plant-based foods. For example, spinach is 51 percent protein; mushrooms, 35 percent; beans, 26 percent; oatmeal, 16 percent; whole wheat pasta, 15 percent; corn, 12 percent; and potatoes, 11 percent."
From the book Eat to Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman: "Which has more protein - oatmeal, ham, or a tomato? The answer is that they all have about the same amount of protein per calorie. The difference is, the tomato and the oatmeal are packaged with fiber and other disease-fighting nutrients, and the ham is packaged with cholesterol and saturated fat…I see about twenty to thirty new patients per week, and I always ask them, 'Which has more protein - one hundred calories of steak or one hundred calories of broccoli?' When I tell them it's broccoli the most frequent response is 'I didn't know broccoli had protein in it.' I then ask them, 'So where did you think the calories in broccoli come from? Did you think it was mostly fat, like an avocado, or mostly carbohydrate, like a potato?'…When you eat large quantities of green vegetables you receive a considerable amount of protein."
Will vegan diet improve cholesterol?
Yes. Because cholesterol is found only in animal flesh (meat), and secretions (dairy and eggs), vegans consume a cholesterol-free diet. Many studies show that replacing animal protein with plant protein also lowers blood cholesterol levels, even if the amount and type of fat in the diet stays the same.

Vegans generally cook at least some of their food unless they are raw vegan. Raw vegans (also called raw food vegans) do not heat their food above 115 degrees Fahrenheit, as important nutrients and enzymes are destroyed at higher temperatures. However, some argue that ingesting these enzymes is not necessary for digestion, because the human body produces its own enzymes for the purpose of digesting food and absorbing nutrients.
Some raw vegans refer to non-raw vegans as "cooked" vegans, to distinguish the raw diet from a vegan diet that incorporates cooked foods.

Do vegans only eat organic products?

Nope. For example, burt's bee's is a great (mostly natural - you gotta laugh at the "98.7% natural" labels) natural alternative choice for a soap. However, many of them contain beeswax (bee products are non-vegan), honey, glycerin (which can be from animal fats), and milk or milk derivatives. Glycerin shows up in a lot of bar soaps too, especially some of the handmade ones. If it specifically states 'vegetable glycerin' in the ingredients, your glycerin is certified vegan. Old fashioned soap used to be made with animal fats from killed farm animals, and some still make this old fashioned soap. I'm not sure if it's a novelty or if some people like using it sometimes....
In synthetic soaps, you're bound not to find animal ingredients. The fragrance is usually fake, the other ingredients a buncha fake stuff too. If it says it has honey, milk, or beeswax, it definitely isn't vegan. Read the package, research the ingredients - because you never know when an ingredient that sounds like it is totally okay, partly because it doesn't sound like anything you can recognize, is actually of animal origin. One of the easiest ways to do that is to try typing the individual ingredient into a search engine and read about it. Another way is to contact the company by phone or email and speak to someone who can tell you if any of the ingredients are of animal origin. I would research it a bit more for ya, but I quit using most mainstream accepted soaps a long time ago because as a vegan, the demands of my lifestyle pushed me to reconsider a lot of other things in my life and choose natural, organic and environmentally sustainable choices.
