So my friend was asking me where I would get my amino acids as a raw foodist and because I'm new I didn't really know what to say. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    ok, I had a friend who was giving me a hard time about being raw and how I wouldn't get the amino acids. I know everything has protein but wasn't sure about the amino acids.

    there's 22 amino acids out of the 22, 9 are Essential amino acid meaning your body cant make them so you need to get them from foods sources which any whole plant food has all 9. like bananas, rice, bean, potatoes, kale etc. the whole protein, amino acid things are just excuses people like to use so they can keep eating the sad diet
