Transision from vegetarian to vegan

[Vinayaka]

This.

I had a very low B12, even eating meat. I had to get monthly B12 shots AND take B12 and folic acid supplements.

I’m almost 2 weeks almost meat-free (just some chicken and fish) but I still take a mega-B12 dose. It will be 3 weeks mammal meat-free when I go for blood work next week. I’m curious to see my level. I don’t get shots currently but I take the supplements.

Latest stuff I read was insinuation that there is a genetic factor that affects assimilation of it.

Most people still have their sex organs, producing hormones
..I do not....I take synthetic estrogens...but it s not tbe same thing

I understand the ovarian hormonal loss. I am just letting you know that milk is not the answer.

There is nothing inherently healthier nor morally superior about being vegan vis a vis being omnivorous.

If you’ll pardon the pun, here is some food for thought,

Latest stuff I read was insinuation that there is a genetic factor that affects assimilation of it.

Ooh, I’ll have to look into that. The DNA report has a detailed section of the entire genome. I’m curious to see what gene it is and its location. I found the location of the “warrior/worrier” gene, and the gene that says I don’t learn from mistakes.

So how is morality determined? What factors are considered?

Have you been in a situation where your health made you had to go from meat-eater to vegetarian to vegan food before?
What was your experience of going through the change and how do you feel now when you do not eat any meat or milk products?

And yes due to health issue I am about to go from vegetarian to vegan lifestyle ( suggested by my doctor)

FWIW. Plant-based diet can fight climate change - UN
