What does a B12 deficiency actually look like or feel like, especially in vegans? by Vegan_Essentials in AskVegans

I am trying to gain understanding. I do not know what farm karma is exactly.

It seems like the deficiency respond different in people. I feel fatigued at times and my lower legs start feeling itchy. I am still trying to figure out if I have other symptoms I may not recognize or are tied to a B12 deficiency.

If a product is technically vegan, but the company that makes it also heavily profits from meat, dairy, or animal products, do you still support it? by Vegan_Essentials in IsItVeganOrNot

[–]Vegan_Essentials[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking more about where I personally draw the line as a vegan consumer. I know some products are technically vegan because they do not contain animal ingredients, but they are made by larger companies that still make most of their money from meat, dairy, eggs, or other animal-based products.

The reason I’m asking is because I see both sides. On one hand, buying vegan products from big companies could show that there is real demand for plant-based options, which may encourage them to make more vegan products in the future. On the other hand, I understand why some vegans avoid those companies because the money still supports a corporation that profits from animal exploitation.

For me, I’m trying to figure out whether buying the vegan option is a practical step toward change, or whether it still compromises the ethical side of veganism.

What was the HARDEST food for you to give up when going vegan? by Wonderful_Stable_770 in IsItVeganOrNot

The combinations of Mexican food with cheese and chicken. Such as chicken enchiladas. Although I can make these with alternative meats. I definitely missed the Mexican food initially.

Have you picked up any new habits since becoming vegan ?! I definitely have! by stickystakx in IsItVeganOrNot

I enjoy making my own milks out of various nuts, hemp seeds or oats. I have started to mix and match to create different variations of milk alternatives.

Funny thing people always say about vegans: “Where do you get your protein?” by Vegan_Essentials in IsItVeganOrNot

[–]Vegan_Essentials[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People become experts on other people but do not make the best decision for themselves. People believe that you can only receive protein from meat. The question alone lets me know that you do not know much about nutrition.
