Topic	I've been thinking about transitioning to vegan
Doctor Foxx 07/26/17 2:26:38 PM #19:	OmegaM posted... Just wondering; is there any moral reason against milk and eggs as long as the cows and chickens are treated humanely and not ultimately slaughtered? Of course, most milk and eggs you get in the supermarket probably don't meet that condition. Milk supports veal and the beef industry, and poor treatment of milking cows. Eggs supports massive chicken slaughter and inhumane conditions. You will not find anything humane like that at a grocer. Even so, it's still taking another creature's life (or causing them to suffer) for your pleasure, ultimately. Anyway Kana if you want some resources I'd be happy to send them to you. I've found so far it's not too difficult, but it is significantly less convenient to have to read every label. SkynyrdRocker posted... Eating vegan isn't super healthy though. the vast majority of omni diets are not super healthy, so...? shadowsword87 posted... If you do, don't take vitamin supplements, because there are some dietary things you're missing out on. Personally though, going vegan seems hard, mostly because shopping must be an unbelievable pain in the ass the while figuring out what to get. you should be supplementing B12, you can't get it without animal products unless you're eating some really dirty produce. I personally am chronically deficient in B12 regardless of diet so I just megadose. Many vegan foods fortify with B12 anyway so you're going to get the RDI easy with milk or meat alternatives. --- Never write off the Doctor! <cite>Doctor Foxx posted [p:883638400] in I've been ...
