    I know that for the body to produce enough vitamin D, it only needs 30 minutes per day of sun on the hands and face. As to b12, well since there are no plant sources I guess our only choice is to...

  16. Poll: Re: 'I like variation'

    I have found that there is no point in eating out anymore. I can make far better stuff than I can find in any restaurant. The only thing I miss is having someone else prepare my food for me!
  17. Poll: Re: 'I like variation'

    That blows me away too! It goes to show the kind of iron grip the milk industry has over the general population: "eat our products...even if they are killing you!"
  18. Poll: Re: 'I like variation'

    Even when I was omni, I cooked lots, but rarely with meat. It wasn't the blood; I just never liked cooking with something that could kill me if I ate it raw.

    Re: Why are you vegan! Or is it 'Why AREN'T you vegan?'
