§ 03 — myths
Let's bust a few myths.
01
Where do vegans get protein?
Beans, tofu, lentils, peanuts, taho, monggo, and soy-based products are excellent protein sources — most of which Filipinos already eat regularly.
02
Vegan food is expensive.
Plant staples like rice, vegetables, tofu, saba bananas, monggo, and kamote are among the most affordable foods in the Philippines.
03
You can't enjoy Filipino food anymore.
Many Filipino dishes are naturally plant-friendly or easy to veganize — from vegetable lumpia to ginataang gulay to tofu sisig.
04
Vegan diets are unhealthy.
Well-planned plant-based diets can support overall health and may lower the risk of certain chronic diseases when paired with whole foods.
05
Being vegan is all-or-nothing.
Even reducing animal products and eating more plants can make a meaningful impact — for your body and for the planet.
