"How's that diet of yours going?" she asked tonight.
"No problems. I feel great."
"What did you eat today?"
"I just finished a peach and banana smoothie." So it was full of greens. Why put her off?
"And what are you doing for protein?"

Bessie and me, noshin' on protein. (Big hugs to my niece, graphic illustrator Rebekah Davis, for the drawing.) |
"Grass?!"
"Where do you think cows get protein?"
"Well not from grass!"
"Then where?"
"I don't know. I never thought about it."
"Fruits and veggies have plenty of protein. That's why cows and horses don't keel over and die."
"Well don't call me when you pass out."
"Okay, I won't."
isn't it amazing that we think our only protein comes from animals. I have a mother who thinks like yours does. Gotta love em.
