We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

Plain Cheerios each morning and marmite on toast (with peanut butter or in a sandwich with other things) make sure I get enough B12 without having to resort to supplements. (I'm not full vegan anymore either, just very heavily lean that direction.)

(Gross fact: gorillas and many other non-ruminant herbivores get their B12 via coprophagia.)

Did you just tell me to eat shit? /s

[–] uphillbothways@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

lol. I mean, I guess it's an option. But if anything, by comparison, plain Cheerios and a little marmite here and there should sound like a pretty good alternative.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol yes definitely preferring Cheerios to poop-o-phagia or whatever. Marmite on the other hand... 🤔

[–] uphillbothways@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

It's an acquired taste. Just a little to start mixed in something else. Like a strong soy sauce flavor. You end up craving it because of how good it is for you. Some hot tea alongside makes it even better. (The marmite, btw. No idea about crap, but who knows...)

I'm vegan I agree.

It's such a farcical argument. Along with being able to get it through a variety of foods, as you've mentioned, the supplements themselves are extremely affordable and quite easily obtainable. I supplement with the Live Conscious B12 drops once a week and at my last 6month blood test (get them regularly to ensure no vitamin deficiencies and other issues) the doc actually recommended I stop the drops since my levels were in the too high category 😆. And that's from once a week supplementation, along with just eating a diverse and nutrient rich diet as you mentioned.
