   Sorry, all essential* amino acids come from plants or microbes. Beans, e.g. pinto, do have methionine, but corn has even less, so I don't see your point. Besides, you probably don't want a lot of methionine in your diet (it&#x27

   All amino acids originate from non-animals (plants, microbes). Where do you think other animals get their essential amino acids? They eat plants or eat an animal that ate plants. All plant proteins have all of the essential amino acids. The

   You aren't even sure which vitamin it is, but you're sure that veganism is deadly? It's B12, which is from bacteria in the soil and water, but because of water purification and washing vegetables, we don't get it so much

    The site is sincerely refreshing. I feel like I'm walking into a calm forest, compared to the din of most any other website (HN would probably feel the same if it were dark-themed).

    Well, this thread is about working remotely. Why not go remote and live where you want? I get to enjoy rural living, thriving farmers markets, clean ocean and air, relaxed social environment - all from my home in Hawai'i.

    I wonder if this makes it more difficult for the live-in caretaker to eventually find another place (if that's what they wanted) because they're effectively earning less? I.e. I wonder if the rent is usually R dollars if their sal

    Some people love to use this information as a fallacious argument of futility against veganism, i.e. that suffering cannot be avoided because "plants suffer too!". But this misses the point. Plants can respond to stimuli, but it

    So in huge quantities it rarely happens... soy is also completely optional and not necessary, so not a big concern. Avoiding animal products is laughably easy without soy.
