The Challenge of Going Vegan

[Warpy]

10. The problem is B-12

While there are a few plant sources, one has to eat a lot of these foods to get the RDA. Fortunately, the human body loses B-12 slowly and most vegans will take a lifetime to get sick, but they will get sick eventually.

My own philosophy was to eat eggs and dairy infrequently. I wasn't a morality vegetarian, just someone who felt better when meat wasn't a part of the diet.

Factory farmed animals are treated brutally. I'd prefer to get my eggs from locals who treat their chickens well, but that's not always possible. I do get organically farmed meat when I eat it because I really don't want the hormones and antibiotics.

Besides, free range chicken, even the ones who only go out to scratch an hour a day, is completely different from chickens raised pack together in barns.
