Current international recommendation is 0.8g of protein for every kg you weigh.
Who do these ridiculous vegoons think I am? Someone who can incorporate easy, dirt-cheap, tasty, endlessly varied, widely available, shelf-stable, and extremely healthy foods like legumes into my diet?
B12 is actually something that I think about. Not very hard, it’s a once a month pill, but definitely more than protein.
Wow a once-a-month pill? We’re taking ones once a day. Didn’t even know they came in such high concentrations
They do in Romania at least. B12 is fat soluble, which makes life much easier.
Why not yeast? In powder form or whatever. Does that not feel more like eating food than popping a pill? Serious question, not being facetious.
I don’t have a problem with medication/supplements. I personally don’t have a problem with popping a pill once in a while instead of a factory farmed animal taking an injection on my behalf once in a while.
Hard to argue with that. But from the point of view of convincing others, I do worry about the optics of a diet that requires what looks like a medical supplement.
Personally this is my red line and why I won’t (for now) go completely vegan (I eat eggs). But the yeast approach strikes me as the obvious way of sort-of squaring the circle - i.e. having a diet that consists only of actual food that occurs in nature.
Anyway, this is just pontification in the name of debate. I know that’s a risky proposition in this forum but I’m doing it anyway! Absolutely not a criticism of you or veganism, which I respect very much.
