I believe that lack of B12 can cause anemia. So get yourself some B12 supplements and get tested again in few months to see if it worked. Good luck!
It's true that there are cars that are more fuel-efficient than the ones that your average American drives today, but there definitely is no such thing as a 'fuel-efficient' car. The US (and the rest...
I know... This makes me feel so incredibly guilty and so incredibly powerless at the same time.
How did we manage to become such parasites? http://veganforum.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif...
I don't believe that. Wild animals are not miserable. And just imagine the freedom! We live by the clock, most of us are exhausted by unstimulating work that we need to do in order to feed ourselves;...
I am human, I'm already engaged in this world as such, so I wouldn't want to be instantly turned into an oak tree or into anything else for that matter. But if you're asking whether I would like my...
That sounds a bit anthropocentric to me, I must say. You can 'earn' to be born as a human. Why is it better to be a human than it is to be a sparrow or an oak tree? But maybe you didn't mean to imply...
I went from omni to lacto-ovo vegetarian (6 years ago) to vegan (a year plus some ago). Going from lacto-ovo veggie was easier, but basically because I didn't encounter the same kind of resistence...
Thanks Eve & Gert. :)
I was telling this friend of mine about how harmful dairy was health-wise, and she said she didn't believe me. So I told her that I could give her some links if she was interested, and if not, then...
LOL, that's great! :D :p
I'm about a half and hour from Philly, and I get Alvarado St. bread from my local Acme. Not all Alvarado St. breads are vegan (some contain honey), but most are. I like their bread a lot, but it's...
I don't know if this applies in your case, but when I first went vegan (a little over a year ago), I didn't have a hard time staying away from non-vegan food on a day-to-day basis; but if I thought...
It would probably be a good idea to have some vegan snacks always at hand; preferably something low-cal so that you don't end up overeating. So, when you feel like grabbing a piece of pizza, an...
Yeah... That's what I find bizarre, too. I thought animals were pretty good about regulating their numbers... Unless humans have been the elephants' natural enemies for quite some time so that the...
Hi! Let me jump in. The only book I ever read on the subject was The Party's Over by Richard Heinberg. It was pretty good, though you can find most of the information in it online. There's a number...
About honeybees... Last summer, I went to this lecture about pollination, and the speaker said that a lot of organic farmers stopped using honeybees because organic farms are hospitable to various...
I would hate to break this to those folks, but actually, very, very few of us actually go out to kill something to eat. Most people are like infants: waiting for the supermarket to 'catch' their...
I believe that the issue is not brain size as such, but the brain/body size ratio. Elephants may have bigger brains than humans, but that's because their bodies are so much larger. As for men and...
Lol, Sylkan! I'm also type O, and yet I never liked meat. If it hadn't been forced on me, I never would have eaten it in the first place! My father's also type O, and although he's omni, he isn't a...
I think that Americans and Aussies/Europeans get their scores in different units. Which would explain how my 9 means 2.1 planets and 1vegan's 3.9 means 2.2 planets. :cool:
Thanks, Korn. :)
I showed it to my (omni) mother, and she found it interesting. Also, she tells me from time to time how she's been eating less meat. I don't expect her to ever become veg*n, but...
I didn't get what you meant to say...? We topped off at a max of 1 billion people...? What does that mean?
I got 9. 2.1 planets. I think it's got to do with the fact that I don't drive at all and generate less waste than average. Still not good enough, though... :o
Anyway, Ricky, how the devil did...
You have GOT to be kidding! :eek: :eek:
John has a point. I think it's extremely important to emphasize that a well-planned vegan pregnancy is not a hazard for the baby. It's really problematic when people who are or used to be vegan start...
See, spinach really isn't one of my favorite foods. I like it, but in general, I like tofu and mushrooms, for example, better. So that's why I'm thinking that I might be craving it because I miss...
I am craving spinach! :p I must be anemic or something. :rolleyes:
That's a real shame. You should do what you feel you must do, but I certainly hope you will come back to veganism at some point.
Incidentally, it looks like I'll be eating pretty much what you...
There's a big difference between clams and cheese/eggs. In order to obtain cheese and eggs, a great deal of suffering needs to be deliberately imposed on beings that are most definitely sentient,...
John, while I can see advantages to keeping the purity of definitions, I think that saying that ChartT wasn't 'vegan in sprit' was unwarranted and condescending. It is my understanding that ChartT...
I'm with Zool here. Both about the clams and about humans in coma.
But the question is whether clams etc. can feel pain at all.
What exactly is your point, Sniv? That both a fetus and a clam are sentient beings, but ending the life of a fetus is justifiable while ending the life of a clam isn't? Or that a clam is sentient,...
You know guys, I don't understand how one can refuse to eat clams on the basis of compassion, and yet be pro choice. (Just to clarify: I am very much pro choice, and I don't eat clams etc.) Isn't one...
Well, neither do fungi, I believe. And yet, vegans don't normally have issues with eating mushrooms. As the matter of fact, I do believe that fungi were classified as animals at some point, I guess...
Hmm... I don't know. I don't eat oysters etc. for basically two reasons: 1) it would remind me of the meat of 'higher' animals, and 2) I can't imagine that in the process of catching these simple...
Same thing with me. :o
OK. I must then be uninformed. :o
Kim[ba], I understand where you're coming from, but unless you've got some special skills, your money would probably be more useful to them than your labor - or so I think... :o I'm not saying you...
