Most take protein supplement pills and should eat tofu, another substance rich in protein. Another downside for vegans is that with their lack of milk, they're lacking in calcium too, and may find that their teeth will fall out. So they may take calcium pills as well. In our conquests as vegetarians there have been many things we've learned and had to become accustomed to. We've also found and solved a lot of problems and myths.
