That's sweet but personally I became vegan for all the wrong reasons and I know a lot of other girls like me have done it for the same reasons. But chocolate is not a good thing for all girls, try flowers if you ever go out with a vegan, yellow ones because they're smiley! 😄

Vegans lack protein which is not healthy.

miss_swann wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

nuts and seeds? Maybe we don't want to be healthy.

Protein can be gotten from plant souces. It's B-12 that they need. I used to be one for health reasons. And I did get quite healthy.

Oh, and yellow flowers are great. Love em.

miss_swann wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

See vegans can be healthy! Anyway it's more vegetarians that have more of a woo health state they eat a lot of chesse for protein and chesse is bad.

See thats the thing, many vegetarians lack vitamin B-12 simply because it does not exist naturally in any non-animal forms.

what does B-12 do?

Yeah, you need a suppliment. If you don't take one, it could lead to depression amongst other things. But otherwise it's a very healthy diet, but a difficult one to keep. I did it for 3 years.

Iron, Zinc and Calcium are other nutrients that vegans lack.

Can a lack of B-12 cause anorexia or make it worse?

Iron—Diets consisting of vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, and nuts provide adequate iron.35-40 Consuming foods rich in
vitamin C, such as orange juice, with iron-rich foods enhances the absorption of iron. Some foods are naturally rich in both
iron and vitamin C, such as broccoli, Swiss chard, and other dark green leafy vegetables. Other good iron sources include
iron-fortified cereals, enriched bread, pasta, rice, soybeans, chickpeas, and blackstrap molasses.
Calcium: Studies show that vegetarians absorb and retain more calcium from foods than nonvegetarians do. Vegetable greens such as spinach, kale and broccoli, and some legumes and soybean products, are good sources of calcium from plants.
Zinc: Zinc is needed for growth and development. Good plant sources include grains, nuts and legumes. Shellfish are an excellent source of zinc.

Since technically B-12 is produced by microorganisms is it possible to eat food containing B-12 enriched flour?

miss_swann wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

most things with flour also have chicken abortions.

I don't know, but I have read that it can cause neurological problems such as depression as I've mentioned. Now someone with neurological problems might view things differently and tend to be off based on their thinking which could lead to self image perceptions and maybe anorexia as a result. Not sure.

By taking supplements or eating enriched foods there should be no problem right?

do microorganisms count on the no animal product thing?

vitamin B12 deficiency is a very serious problem leading ultimately to anemia and irreversible nerve damage. Prudent vegans will include sources of vitamin B12 in their diets

A number of reliable vegan food sources for vitamin B12 are known. One brand is nutritional yeast. It's very good, kind of tastes like cheese and can be used in may recipes...You sprinkle it on sandwiches, gravies, pastas, potatoes.......anything really.

miss_swann wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

How many calories do these supplements have?
