a vegan lifestyle actually requires a fair amount of effort and learning about nutrition

I was actually surprised by how little effort it really took? Like replace butter with margarine, slave milk with oatmilk and, unless you're baking, eggs aren't actually that important.

The rest is just choosing different meals. Roasted vegetables, fried rice, bulgur, beans etc. instead of steak or sausages or what have you. Get some starchy stuff, some veggy stuff, some proteiny stuff = heathy meal. Most nonvegans live less healthy than that. Then there really is only the B12 debate left, and if you want to err on the safe side just take some supplements. They're really cheap.

Sure, it wasn't 0 effort, but it wasn't exactly rocket science either. Just kind of look at what you're eating, throw out the non-vegan stuff and go from there. If you have any qualms about the exploitation of beings with a consciousness, who can feel the pain and suffering when their kids are killed just give it a try.

It's actually not quite as easy, you do have to at least get a rough understanding of what you need and where to get it.

Especially for women, iron deficiency is a real problem. For some reason, they lose a bunch of iron every month and that needs to be replaced. A lot of women are running low on iron even with "conventional" diets, so dumping all the iron rich animal products can be a problem.

It's far from impossible, but you have to educate yourself a bit about your needs.

But thats true about nutrition in general. A lot of people have deficiencies without being vegan, this stereotype that veganism is somehow dangerous unless you know what you're doing is just wrong. People need to be more educated about nutrition in general independently of veganism.

slave milk with oatmilk

What's slave milk?

[-] mathemachristian@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

Milk produced by slave labor.

[-] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 months ago

What slave labour? Is there slave labour where you live?

[-] mathemachristian@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

The slave labor of the cows and goats in this case.
