    I just found out today that the only reason meat contains B12 is because livestock are supplemented.

    I am literally so furious right now.. I just read an article that 90% of all the B12 supplements produced in the world are fed to livestock, because they don't naturally contain it. Is this a joke? This was literally the main "argument" thrown at me my entire life, the only point about the...

    (How) can you make foam with homemade plant-milk?

    Hi there, I recently started making my own plant-milks (my favourite one is cashew milk, and I've experimented with almond and pistachio so far) in order to achieve my zero-waste goals. Now I buy my coffee beans, as well as my cashew seeds in bulk and I have been doing pretty well for the past...

    Due to African Swine Fever, they attempt to shoot all hogs/boars near the border

    I don't think I have ever been this ******, but the national news just got me raging today. In Belgium, the ASF has occured a couple of times, and as a consequence Luxembourg (where I live) is "forced" to shoot all (and I mean all) the wild hogs along the border of Belgium. There are 100 hunters...

    Severe acne after stopping birth control (pill)

    T took the pill for 4 years (16 years old till 20) and I never had any acne before taking the pill (nor during). I only had one or two pimples when I got my period and that was it. But now my entire forehead, chin, neck are covered in gigantic painful pimples. Please tell me this goes away after...

    I lost 15lbs / 7kg at University

    I've been vegan for over 3 years now, and my weight and health have been stable (in good shape) even before that. But since I started University I have been feeling blue a lot of the times, and I also stopped taking birth control (pill) 1 1/2 months ago. Now, people kept telling me that I looked...

    Working at animal sanctuaries

    Hi there, I have recently been thinking about my goals (professional and other) a lot and I have pretty much come to the conclusion that running (or rather working at) an animal sanctuary would be my absolute dream job. In the best case scenario I could even include psychotherapy with animals...

    Argument i had today: plastic is more sustainable than paper

    Okay, so my mother went vegan approximately a year after I did, too. She doesn't really do it for the environment's sake (even though she says she does, but I will explain this soon) but for the animals. She basically never even tries to reduce her plastic consumption. She will prefer plastic...

    What is your zodiac?

    Hi there, just curious: Do you believe in zodiac signs and the traits that are attributed to them? What is yours and what do you think about that?:blush: Do you believe in anything (else)? Mine is pisces and I think it is fitting (I'm highly emotional, dreamy, scatterbrained etc...)

    Reducing plastic / living zero waste (help)

    I am actively trying to produce less waste, and reduce my ecological footprint as much as possible, which is why I am trying to reduce my use of plastic, and so on (Let's lay aside the fact that the production of glass or other plastic-replacements are not 100% sustainable for a moment). Up...

    Can you do art for a living?

    I paint and draw quite a lot, and up until a year ago, I only painted (boring) portraits, or things people asked me to paint without really putting in my personality. Now, I started painting environmentalist, sinister, sometimes surreal motives which seem to repel people because of the gloomy...

    Relationship with a non-vegan

    Hi there, I'm new to the forum but I'll just quickly get to the point I have been in a relationship for 1 1/2 years with an omnivore (I have been vegan for 3 years and I was raised as a vegetarian) and I have such difficulty accepting that he eats meat. I'm currently studying sustainable...
