[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 77521593, member: 330042"] It is something I said out of an abundance of caution, but that doesn't mean the diet is particularly difficult if you live in a place with a wide variety of foods, which is the case in most developed nations. You just need a small variety of legumes (beans, lentils, peas), grains, vegetables and fruits, with nuts and seeds as supplements. You could create a perfectly adequate Vegan diet with only a few basic foods, and it doesn't necessarily cost alot money. In fact in most cases, it will cost far less. I don't spend alot of money on my diet, in fact my diet is far cheaper than it used to be as an omnivore. Beans and lentils have been mostly immune to the recent inflationary pressures affecting meat and processed foods. B-12 is one of the cheapest supplements you can buy, costing only a few pennies per day. Again, it's recommended out of an abundance of caution. There are plant based sources of B-12 like mankai (duckweed) or chlorella, they just are uncommon in the developed world as actual foods. Animals raised for meat in countries like the US and Europe are usually given B-12 as a supplement. B-12 isn't made by animals at all, it's made by bacteria and absorbed by animals and some plants. That's an argument for combating poverty and junk food, not an argument against Veganism. Veganism is bounded by practicality. Here is the official definition of Veganism: While Veganism in its modern form took shape under Donald Watson in the mid 20th century in Britain, there have been similar ethics throughout history.
