Some people who become vegetarians/vegans don't realise they might become deficient in B12.
Quote:
By eating vegetables and tofu etc..they think they're eating healthily, and on occasion have to rely on supplements. If you're a vegetarian and feel a need to take vitamin/mineral supplements, you're doing it wrong, basically. In a balanced diet they're simply surplus to requirements. It's not hard work at all.
It sounds like too much hard work being a vegetarian. lol |

No, it just makes me shake my head in pity for you.
You are just making yourself look foolish in front of people when you push your beliefs onto them, and they are more likely to reject you when you talk down to them. Perhaps if you tried a different approach, one with less being a richard about it and more genial, you might get a few more people listening to you. Until then, learn how to deal with it. |

Being a vegan is your own choice, nobody here will argue about it. Just like eating meat is a choice we make. Making it some ethical pity-fest only makes you look worse, and I've known a lot of vegans. Not all of them like you want to force their ethics onto other people, they're happy to live and let live.

I originally tried your not unreasonable approach with her but I think her diet has affected her ability to have normal rational thought processes

I'm going for a mixed carvery lunch later - beef, turkey and ham all on the same plate *happy*
When a member of my family got married a few years ago, we got a local farmer to do a hog roast for us. That was chuffing delicious.

Fair enough. I hope you avoid all medicines too.
And I see you're still using your computer which is full of dead animal products.

Which components, how?
But I do know that a lot of things are made using animal products including medicine and electronic components. |

I do feel sorry for poor Mumbo here, but the things he says, he does bring it on himself.

Still at least he can take comfort in knowing that all his arguments are backed up by the paragon of virtue that is "Wikipedia" |

and and I asked you to explain further and be specific, I thought you'd know ![]() ![]() So anyway, medicine and electronic components both use animal products during manufacture so are you going to stop using them or is that different than eating them? |
