  11. Can vegan protein do the work of animal-based?
    This has been a question for months un-faced
    But if a new study holds true
    Then we could all make the swap too
    For fungi-derived protein, might just be the ace
    Our muscles need not miss those from animal space
    It’s time to advance, to a more healthy, vegan place
