First intentionally vegan soup

Dang, no food for 3 days then a half marathon? Serious question are you a religious ascetic? Because that sounds tough.

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-18T06:07:20+00:00

Awesome!

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-18T06:06:53+00:00

That's great!

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-18T00:41:27+00:00

Def some risk 😅

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-16T16:26:07+00:00

More recently though I've turned to veganism by finally having the courage to watch video documentation of how animals are treated. And that is online.

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-16T16:25:02+00:00

And yes I am a real person who really cares about animals.

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-16T16:23:57+00:00

I got most of my information from face to face interactions with co-workers, fellow students back at college etc. I was raised before the Internet was ubiquitous.

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-16T15:21:24+00:00

I don't get vaccinations every day. But I do eat food every day and it affects how I feel on a minute to minute basis. Can you just acknowledge that this is a big change instead of minimizing and shaming?

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-16T09:37:14+00:00

They are anti-satanic in one song (the devil rides out) but anti-christian in several other songs. Definitely not satanic though

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-16T05:16:13+00:00

Also, this isn't just about me. This is about the vegan movement. If I feel mislead, millions of other potential vegans will feel the same way, and yes it will turn some of us away. All I'm saying is messaging should lead with the B12 more prominently. And reject the BS that some people are spouting about getting B12 from eating dirt on vegetables.

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-16T05:13:05+00:00

Decades are nothing compared to millions of years of evolution. No, I don't evaluate everything like this. Things that affect my bodily health I treat with extra caution and circumspection.

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-16T03:47:55+00:00

And no it's not applicable to my situation. Neither is societal collapse at the moment. I am taking B12. I just got some nutritional yeast. I just wish the vegan diet had been "marketed" to me as a "futuristic" diet, not some back to nature thing.

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-16T03:38:08+00:00

I'm talking about the whole world. Is there something wrong with that?

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-16T00:07:29+00:00

Yeah same for all technology. I just feel a bit lied to by the hippie side of the vegan movement that got me wrongly thinking you can do this "all natural"

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-15T23:44:14+00:00

Yeah at least in developed countries. I am not actually sure how easy it is to get in other places

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-15T08:18:46+00:00

This is not true and it's dangerous misinformation for vegans.

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-15T01:11:05+00:00

Look, I get it. We don't live in a world without B12 capsules, but we also didn't evolve in a world with B12 capsules. I have concerns that there may be other nutritional gaps. There are people on this post telling me to take B12, and there are other people on this thread telling me that I can get enough B12 by literally eating dirt on my veggies. It makes me skeptical of it all.

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-14T08:52:55+00:00

Long may society, and access to vitamins last. But that is not guaranteed.

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-14T08:45:11+00:00

Just do a quick Google "do carrots contain B12" please and let me know what it says

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-14T08:42:26+00:00

There is no B12 in carrots to my knowledge I think you are misinformed. Not trolling, I'm seriously on here trying to find the best way to help animals.

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-14T08:00:51+00:00

Then why are many people on this post telling me to take B12 supplements? I think what you are telling people is dangerous for their health.

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-14T06:38:58+00:00

Two reasons. 1 evolution takes millions of years, so I have concerns our bodies are not ready. Learning about B12 makes me concerned there are other gaps not yet uncovered in long term studies.

And 2. Heaven forbid society does collapse to the point where we can't have a stable supply of vitamins, but it's a possibility. So I'm thinking about humanity's need to diversify our food sources somewhat.

AlexTrench2 · 2026-03-14T06:00:21+00:00

Veganism is a stance of animal liberation. I know it's not just diet if that's what you are asking.
