That's interesting. Thanks.
As you know, it doesn't matter to me that it is highly likely after 25 years that my 'normal range' B12 blood test results probably come from a daily ingestion of fortified Meridian yeast extract. I've never been one to argue that veganism is right because it's 'natural', I merely maintain that we should be vegan 'because we can'.

Me too.

I'd go just one step further though ...

I'd maintain that we have an obligation to be vegan.

Veganism being something of a counter balance to some of the many other totaly unnatural aspects of our modern lives.

I see it more as a known that can be remedied. I do get tired of omnivores telling me what is missing in my diet as a vegan (that is B12) when they couldn't tell me what is missing in their own! Being an omnivore is no ticket to good health.
