LYRICS:
Hey Ivory!
Yeah Jonathan?
You're Vegan, right?
Yes, that's right, I am!
Can I ask you some questions, then?
Sure, Mann, of course you can!
Are you ready for the questions, then?
What are you waiting for?

Where do you get your protein, protein, protein
Only meat has protein so where do you get your protein

Actually lots of things have protein: Beans have protein
Greens have protein, fruits and nuts have protein, grains and seeds have protein
and here's the thing that's so obscene:
We don't need so much protein
Most people eat more than they need

Where do you get your calcium? Only milk has calcium
Healthy bones from cow's milk, calcium, I drink it, yum

Lots of plants have calcium, and lots and lots of calcium
And cholesterol, well they have none of the fat found in milk

What about our ancestors? Didn't they eat meat?
If I wasn't supposed to eat it, then why do I have these teeth?

Do your teeth look like a carnivores? All sharp and pointy, like?
No you gotta cook your meat over a roaring fire light!
Furthermore, all carnivores act on instinct
Humans make choices, they consider and they think
If humans of old ate meat
It was a choice not a necessity

If everyone were vegan, what about all the cows
and all the gajillion chickens living on farms now?
If everyone turned vegan it wouldn't happen over night
and demand would just decline and so would the supply.

Isn't vegan food just bland and gross?
No! It's yummier than most!
You care about animals more, you do!
I care about animals, people too!
Aren't vegan men weak and girly?
I find vegan men quite sexy!
B12, so there, haha!
B12's from bacteria!

Where do you get your protein? Plants!
Where do you get calcium? Plants!
Where do you get your iron? Plants!
Where do you get your zinc? Plants!

Hey Ivory!
Yeah Jonathan?
I think I get it now.
Yeah, it's all about plants.
Yep, that's pretty much it.
OK, cool, glad we cleared it up!
Me too! Let's have a snack!
OK.

Okay vegans next time someone asks us about protein we form one giant herbivorous flash mob and just belt out this song so that nobody ever asks us again! Carpe Diem!!! Who's with me!?!?

[Thewrathofpaul]

Not to mention that calcium from plants is much more absorbable

[HybridD91]

The fact people believe only meat has protein reveals the utter failure of this education system. It's a disgrace people do not know basic biological principles.

@therockcookiebottom just out of curiosity, why did you delete my comment? it's your right and i'm not keeping any hard feelings, but i've never had another top rated comment and i was quite proud of it

[Dracorex999]

@chiyerano Yes but there are laws here against hunting and I don't have enough land to trap.

[LeeshUnleashed]

I recently decided to be a vegetarian, this video was both fun and helpful, thanks

[plaidchuck]

@ConcreteRiver

Nope better bone health

[chiyerano]

@Dracorex999 I find that hard to believe that you wouldn't be able to find any meat where you live if places stopped selling it and you had to hunt for it. Don't you at least have small animals like birds, squirrels, and rabbits where you live?

[chiyerano]

@Dracorex999 First of all, I'm not a dude and second I didn't say anything about eating babies. I was replying to your comment on you killing yourself if everyone went vegan. That is all.

[WickedJargon]

@Dracorex999 you don't get it

[ConcreteRiver]

@plaidchuck I think you mean better levels of calcified arteries from the sat fat,cholesterol and animal proteins.

[ConcreteRiver]

@Skepticktok I would prefer to use a Louisville Slugger to pummel the disgusting corpse muncher who asks the question, into unconsciousness
