    How would you feel about drinking milk from a sanctuary where the animals are well-cared for?

    Hey man. Cow's milk is for cows, not humans. Eggs are a chicken period. So hope that answers your question! :)

    What did you eat for Dinner/Supper today?

    Good for you going Vegan. It's a bumpy ride at times. I find if I don't have what my body needs then I feel weak and run down. I make sure now that I bulk my food up with enough protein to give me strength for the next day since I live a very active lifestyle. My advice is to use beans when...

    Gym vegans!

    Hi I work out a lot. But I don't try and gain weight. If I wanted more muscle mass I would probably use the aid of a good Vegan protein shake www.theprotienworks.com. I tend to eat pretty normally but after training I make sure I eat some shelled almonds or something like that. Just to help my...

    What about this for a b12 solution?

    From what I understand B12 is found in soil and stuff like that. Vegetables used to be full of b12 but due to pollution, over farming land and pest sprays it has depleted the natural b12. I hear they even inject live stock with b12 so flesh eaters get b12. There is a guy at my work who eats so...

    Child has white spots on nails

    Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my question. It would make sense that it's caused by my child hitting her hand on something as kids do.. Once again many thanks:)

    Child has white spots on nails

    Hey Guys! Just looking for some advice. My daughter who is pretty much 90% Vegan is developing white spots on her nails, I know this is a sign of possible lack of calcium. We give her really good calcium and vitamin D supplements from vitabiotics which she has everyday. Just wondering if you...

    Omega 3 question

    Hi there! I try and have 2 table spoons of milled Flaxseed and one table spoon of Chai seeds (ungrounded) in my porridge once a day... Do you think this would be sufficient? Do I need to grind the Chai seeds? It's hard to know what news reports to trust since pro meat eaters always want to...

    Omega 3 question

    Thanks so much for the reply. I did eat some fish in order to try and get my Omega 3 BUT afterwards it made me more determined to. Carry on the Vegan track. I kinda feel at the moment that if my body feels fine then what's the problem right? I exercise a lot and o feel really healthy and...

    What about this for a b12 solution?

    I have looked into this myself and I think the best solution in my opinion is to take a B12 supplement. As a previous person stated, it's something you will not OD on since you will wee all the excess B12 out. Don't be afraid of the high dose supplements. I give my children aged 6-7yrs B12 drops...

    Omega 3 question

    I have been a Vegan for nearly 4 months. I'm worried about Omega 3. I take flaxseed and Chai seeds daily plus my multi vitamin tablets... BUT I have been reading a lot of research that states Omega 3 is different in plants (flax etc) and oily fish like mackerel. Apparently the plant Omega 3 is...

    Finding it a bit tough

    Haha! Yeah I try my best! Your right about our own paths. It's why there are so many Wars, peoples paths crossing over others, it's difficult to find middle ground sometimes. Veganism has enlightened me to so much including feminism which as a man I never understood until now! So much to...

    Finding it a bit tough

    Very wise words. Yes I agree on a lot of levels. Personally my relationship with my partner is an evolving process, she has made a lot of changes and has gone vegetarian. Vegan is too hard and fast for her. My choices do effect her positively and negatively like all relationships. I know by...

    Finding it a bit tough

    Hey harmony Thanks for the input! I agree with you. It's tough when you're partner doesn't understand and thinks your in the wrong for wanting to be a vegan. Yesterday I had a pretty heated discussion and I think I'm going to have to make some kind of compromise otherwise it's going to...
