As a vegan, people keep telling me I'm not getting enough protein, despite the fact that I am obviously alive.?
How hard should I slap them?

This is one of the most goofy things I have ever heard of.
"Being alive" and "not getting enough protein" are not one and the same. People can "be alive" and still not be getting enough protein. Duh!
The fact of the matter is that vegans can get enough protein but it takes a lot more planning and work because the foods you as a Vegan get protein from are different and needed in different amounts. With beans you would need to eat a ton more beans to get protein than you would say some fish, chicken etc.
If you want to be more healthy just be "mainly" vegan and get some protein now and again via fish, chicken, eggs etc.
Think about it.

Gahhh. I'm constantly asked WHAT DO YOU EAT? DO YOU GET ANY PROTEIN? blah blah blah it's all super repetitive. Screw defensive omnivores. They're everywhere. Just roll your eyes I guess? or give them examples of what you eat for protein?

Well, being alive doesn't equate to being healthy. But other people should mind their own business, and the assumption that vegans and vegetarians can't eat right is just silly.

You may be protein deficient and not know it. Most vegetarians or vegans eat beans, which are high in protein, because not having enough is bad for your immune system, making you more vulnerable to diseases.

Hahaha :] but regardless, people tell me the same thing all of the time! It's so damn annoying they should just mind their own stupid business! At least I'm not poisoning myself with milk puss and chicken ****. :] You too !

Hard enough so that the hamburger flies from their mouth, not hard enough to cause injury as they will sue you and counterclaim that you have an access of protein and use it to abuse omnivores and push a secret vegan agenda!
