It's not just veganism. I have incredibly low vitamin D because I've been sitting at home in closed curtains for the past year. My doctor warned me I'd get impaired vision like this since sunlight releases valuable hormones in the eyes (or something).
What I'm trying to say is that I believe it be important to calculate your diet and not count on accidental vitamin intake from meats.

Absolutely, I only actually bothered trying to figure that out when I stopped meat myself, as I knew I wouldn't be getting everything I was meant to (even though I knew I probably wasn't healthy in the first place). That shit is difficult to figure out, trying to cover everything recommended nutritional intake for a day feels near impossible.
- leadingthenet 6y agoVitamin B12 =/= Vitamin D One is dependent on dietary choices, the other is not.
- zerof1l 6y agoThere are both Vitamin D and B12 supplements, but in both cases it is better to get them from natural sources. D from the sun and B12 with some kind of food where it occurs naturally.
- BlargMcLarg 6y agoSalmon and tuna are definitely dietary sources of vitamin D. Fatty fish, some other seafood and other animal products contain vitamin D to varying degrees. Most people can't make enough vitamin D on their own outside late spring, summer and early autumn, nor do they have to.
- leadingthenet 6y agoThat’s true, and so is red meat, eggs, milk, and so on. But these sources of Vit D PALE in comparison to both the amount you need, and the amount you can produce just by being outdoors for a while. You’re right, though. Salmon is a one or two orders of magnitude better than the rest.
