    This man was able to be vegan over 1000 years ago while he was blind from the age of 6 due to smallpox and lived to the age of 83. All while he established himself as a renowned poet, writer and philosoph of the arabic world. Granted the B12 levels in soil were much higher back then. But what’s bad about taking a pill a day vs destroying the livelihood of future generations?

      Nothing for me and you, but it’s a literal impossibility for like 4 billion people.

          We currently have hundreds of millions of people suffering food insecuring now according to the UN, if we can’t feed everyone now, how do you propose to ensure they eat vegan and have adequate vitamin 12.

          It’s a logistical impossibility in our current global order. I want starving people to get food, my relatively rich ass has no place telling starving people that their food is immoral.
