Just as a sort of PSA: You will get no omega acids from WHOLE flax seeds. You need to ground them up first! This should be done shortly before consuming as the ALA in the seeds tends to oxidize when exposed to air.

I'm super late to the party and I hope everything is going well on your side.

I'm not a parent, but I find the info at PCRM generally helpful and mostly fact based.

They also have a little section about plant based diets and pregnancy: https://www.pcrm.org/good-nutrition/plant-based-diets/pregnancy

All the best!

Sorry for the late reply...

Grains are pretty high in protein content. However, oils (e.g. fried foods), sweets and fruits and often pretty low in protein. If you are eating a "what ever I crave" vegan diet with processed foods mixed in, you will easily land below that threshold.

For example, my wife tracks her food sometimes (for a couple weeks each) and she often lands below her recommended target. She is not eating badly but also not suuuper clean and still, she often does not reach her recommended protein amount.

Bottom line is: You can easily be eating "not enough" protein. However, most of the time it will not lead to big problems. But in the long run, this might get problematic. Every person - vegan or not - has to plan their diets well and think about what they eat at least a little. "Being vegan" is not a magic wand of nutrition. We still need to consider what we eat every day.

I'd say that this a weird way to put it. We just have too few other sustainable plants - mainly wind - in our mix.

It will most likely come back due to EU legislation.

"Am I a joke to you?"

Soße?

A bisschen Senf

Just to be clear: Eating bugs is not vegan. Vegans eat plants.

That is kind an off logic. Sounds more like an excuse for not taking action than anything else. I bet you can dismantle your arguments on your own in no time of you try.

I would vote for more efficient means by removing highly inefficient food "production" - aka meat. That would free up a lot of potential. Vertical farming can probably be used sustainably in some cases but I feel it should not be used on a bigger scale.
