Reliable vegan food sources for vitamin B1...Re: B12<br />Reliable vegan food sources for vitamin B12 are known. The one most commonly used at Flock Hall is nutritional yeast. A commercially available brand of nutritional yeast, Red Star T-6635+, has been tested and shown to contain active vitamin B12, and other brands often proclaim their b12 content on the label (but I haven't seen test results for them...).<br /><br />The Adult RDA for B12 is really tiny - 2.4 micrograms daily - so a teaspoon of nutritional yeast in your cooking every few days is usually enough to satisfy it. (For the sake of comparison, the tofu scramble for which I am so famous around FlockHall has 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast in it.)<br /><br />Nutritional yeast has the benefit of being tasty as well - it is often used to give vegan dishes a cheesy taste. :)Linushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12917331849034683598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6461626.post-60493550741973764062009-05-22T16:18:40.593-06:002009-05-22T16:18:40.593-06:00And also, I have been think about this a lot latel...And also, I have been think about this a lot lately, and so I have responded with some of my thoughts over on http://feeding-the-flock.comTessa K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10370035306005281479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6461626.post-75287757006800275122009-05-22T11:36:25.202-06:002009-05-22T11:36:25.202-06:00@Teh Dr. and @His Sinfulness - the only nutrient t...@Teh Dr. and @His Sinfulness - the only nutrient that it has been proven that we can't get from a plant based diet is B12... which comes, if I am not mistaken, from the decomposition of meat and dairy - yummy I know, but we apparently need it quite a bit to be healthy... vegans can get it through supplements, but because of how it is created a vegan origin is very difficult and frequently not as effective as consuming it at the source - just like getting calcium from dairy is not as effective as getting it from plants that grow close to the ground... so while a fully healthy, completely vegan diet is very hard, arguably maybe impossible to achieve, we have evolved as omnivores after all, a consciousness about what you eat, where it comes from and what it does to your body, mind and spirit is not only possible, but I would say it is necessary...Tessa K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10370035306005281479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6461626.post-85883861108081497172009-05-22T09:09:45.686-06:002009-05-22T09:09:45.686-06:00Thanks, Mayren.

That means taking you as a whole package Linus. I can't just cut out my favorite parts and give back the rest. Nope. Just doesn't work that way. <br />Besides, last i checked; this is still your personal blog that you can say what you want. <br />so i say YAY to voicing your opinions in a constructive way!Mayrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908716319421159843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6461626.post-12396657501326583252009-05-22T07:49:38.913-06:002009-05-22T07:49:38.913-06:00I'm sorry Herr Doktor, but I must disagree.

It is nearly impossible to get enough of certain nutrients which we cannot create in our own bodies without the consumption of animal products. While it is true we can exist without those products they are necessary for the production and maintenance of several cellular processes, which cannot go on without them. I instead would promote a vast reduction of animal product consumption, not a cessation. Perhaps if our society made a shift to eating only what animal products we need to meet our physiological needs, as opposed to the amount we eat now, then the demand and necessary supply would be low enough. Low enough to make every cows life resemble the "Happy Cow" commercials. I find that solution much more appetizing.Teh Dr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02772399437011012170noreply@blogger.com
