hey all!  since becoming a vegan a few months ago my boss has had alot of questions about my change.  Today he told me he is seriosly considering adapting a vegan lifestyle for health reasons.  His big beef (haha) is with the protein issue.  Does anyone know how much protien you need daily on a vegan diet?  He is all about the facts.  Also any reading suggestions would be helpful.  Thank you all I know how much Ihave learned so far from all of your generous offerings.

id get him to read the china study........ got some good info in regards to protein there. dont know specifically about amounts, but if you have a serving of legumes/nuts every day you should be sweet.

If he is all about the fact, The china study
