How do vegetarians get their daily intake of proteins?
I mean the ones who eat STRICTLY fruits & vegetables. I think those are vegans, right? Well, I learned in Biology class that it's dangerous to not have meats & proteins in your diet because you lose muscle mass.

You learned wrong.
Ever heard of beans? Ever heard of Peanut Butter? Check the food pyramid, for crying out loud! There are beans in the "protien" part of the pyramid. Did you know that beans and rice eaten at the same meal, have all the amino acids, and are a complete protien? Ever heard of veggie meats?? Soybeans?? Tofu??
That's how we get protien. BTW.. human body doesn't actually need as much protien as the meat-industry advertises.
