Hello! Here i am. The only supplement I regularly take (aside those for the gym) is B12 which is still overkill but better safe than sorry as most of vegan products are supplemented, one funny thing is that non- vegan foods are supplemented too as factory farmed animals don’t get their vitamins from natural sources either. If you stop to think that 900000 cows, 3.8 million pigs, and 202 million chickens are slaughtered EVERY SINGLE DAY, you’ll realize that the “nomadic cattle herders” are far from the realities of modern world, people love to cite innuit, aboriginal populations, and food deserts whenever veganism is brought up but nor you, me or most of the population belong to those groups, neither are they the problem, I kindly suggest you to look what are the consequences of factory farming, ethically and environmentally, we can live healthy and thrive without destroying our world.
