      There are plenty of plant sources of Omega 3. Flax seeds, walnuts, soybeans, and canola oil all have decent amounts of omega 3 in them. As for protein, legumes generally have a bunch.

      Really, the only thing a vegan needs to supplement is B12, but even that gets added to a bunch of stuff like breakfast cereals and plant milks if you consume those.

        They also take an enormous amount of resources to cultivate and process at industrial scale.

            Wait until you learn that industrial 'murica isn’t the entirety of the planet.

              I am not american and I dont want to be one. The feed for animals raised for their meat in the EU and a lot of other countries that have industrial animal farms is comprised out of several plants and nutrient supplements, and a big part of that feed is soy and corn, both things that are grown mostly to feed animals.

      You can take them as supplements. It’s the same for your body. Oh and you are already doing that, because they give supplements to the animals they raise and kill, we are just eliminating the middleman.

          Cyanide occurs naturally. Water can be made in a lab by mixing Hydrogen and Oxygen and applying heat.

          Is Cyanide good for you when occurring naturally and water bad for you when artificially synthesized?

              Natural is such a stupid argument. Is it natural for us to use a smartphone? Sit in a car and drive around? Work 8h a day instead of being with your peer group? Breed a fast growing special kind of animal, feed it with chemical ingredients and plants that don’t grow here only to eat them? Eat processed sugar? I think you get where I am going. Stop using this bullshit argument and take some supplements, your body will thank you.

                I’m not saying that supplements are bad. What I am saying is that getting those things from their original source is not bad either. And no argument will get me to see it as such. You can have your supplements, it doesn’t affect me. But I will not feel guilty of doing what nature always intended me to do: i.e. eat stuff

                  You eat others who have been feed the same unnatural supplements and much more. Nothing about the Animal industry is natural (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalistic_fallacy) But I guess you live in the woods and only spear hunt there?

                  Animal industry is the biggest destroyer of nature and not only kills them but in the long run us too.

                  No argument will get you there? Ask yourself if you want to be that person. Ask yourself if that isn’t exactly what you dislike about others. We showed you some arguments that use logic and reason, please take a calm moment and think about it. That’s all I am asking.

                  Have a nice day mate!
