Also, what I said about vegans, I most definitely meant those fucks who think being a vegan is a freaking life-style and not just a choice.
As for protein, I realize nuts/whey and other shit like that... But dang.. I don't know how much of that I could eat without craving a big juicy steak. As a vegan, do you not get meat cravings...? Or did you just never really like meat?
I wonder these things.

The soy milk I drink is loaded with calcium. It's really not a problem, the vegan diet can be perfectly healthy. Most vegans I know eat better diets than most vegetarians and meat eaters, I think mainly because it makes you think about food more than the average person does. I never get a craving for meat, mainly because I have no idea what it tastes like. It's been ten years since I tasted the stuff. It's just some food, it's probably tasty but so's tofu with a good marinade or sushi so it doesn't matter.
I've got to ask, where the hell do you people keep finding all these massively obnoxious vegans? All the ones I know are more interested in drinking and listening to punk rock than berating anybody. I have met a lot of really annoying meat eaters who take it as some kind of personal offense if they find out you don't eat animal products and feel the need to give you a dull, poorly informed lecture, or feel the need to tell you about some horrible vegan they met once as if you should feel bad about it. Weird.
Oh, and I'm assured by those that have tasted the difference that the vegan sperm tasting better thing is perfectly legit. A friend of mine has also told me that skinny vegan boys tend to have above average sized penises. This is a rumour I'm happy to hear doing the rounds. And to bring it back to boobs veganboobs.com might not exist but there's that vegporn site which is all porn made by vegans and vegetarians. I'm not sure exactly why someone's dietary preferences is going to get someone extra horny but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Sorry to keep derailing this thread, but I like answering questions.
Protein is easy. Nuts, soy, beans, and even whole grains have protein. No whey for vegans though, it's milk-derived. I just ate a salad with over 70% daily value for calcium. It was a big bowl of spinach with chopped veggies and tofu with a sesame dressing. Spinach and tofu are full of calcium, and lots of other nutrients too. The only nutrient that you can't get directly from a plant source is vitamin B12. The good thing is that your body stores B12 for a long time, and they put cyanocobalmin (a synthetic source of B12) in lots of products, especially energy drinks. I don't really take vitamins. My mom insisted on buying me some, but I am very bad about remembering them. I eat pretty healthy, but I'm not obsessive. The salad was mainly to make up for yesterday, as my dinner was chips and Twizzlers.
I never deny the fact that steak was once my favorite food. Then I worked in food service and started thinking about how awful it was that we threw away so much meat just because it wasn't pretty, so meat started to gross me out. I started doing some research, and it was a slippery slope from there. I honestly don't miss meat at all. Like Ruyi's roommate, I don't even like some mock chicken because it's too convincing. The textures they can recreate are impressive, but a little disturbing if meat doesn't appeal to you.
Tofu is incredibly versatile stuff. I read a good point in a cookbook, that not liking tofu is like not liking flour. If the first cookie you ate was chocolate chip, and you don't even like chocolate chip cookies, you don't say "I don't like flour" and give up on all baked goods. Also, plain flour isn't that great to eat.

For vitamin B12 Marmite's great. It gives you an excuse to eat Marmite all the time (not that I have ever needed one, but still).
Orbert:
I've had tofu prepared at least five or six different ways, and the taste and texture is different with each one. People who say they don't like tofu usually haven't tried it prepared the right way. It's like saying you don't like chicken. Possible, but given that there are literally thousands of ways to prepare it, I'm guessing there's at least one or two ways you'd like it.
Different strokes for different folks. Just as with boobs.

Oh, and PETA had some ad campaign where a bunch of actresses posed nude, and then had a "hottest vegetarian" contest.
