    Do you even B12, bro?

    Jk jk, I like how you’re handling this thread. Most vegan threads erupt in rioting within minutes.

    :) I actually have a B12 spray that taste like berries. I would try kombucha, but anything fermented I don’t like.

    Oh man, kombucha is bomb! You’re missing out.

    Many vegans are fond of the field roast brand of vegan sausages. There's others too, but the ones i've had weren't as good to me.

    What made you decide to become a Vegan ?

    Well, I went Pescatarian in 2014, the day after Thanksgiving, because my older sister was one and I never really like meat (oh my gosh, i HATED chicken and turkey. So gross). Then, I went vegetarian a few months later because the only seafood I ate was tuna fish or smoked salmon, and I heard how too much tuna could cause mercury poisoning (I was eating 2-3 cans a day!). Then, I wanted to lose weight and I didn’t think I could if I still consumed dairy (cheese, cream cheese, and icecream, basically, because I didn’t like milk), so I gave up milk but still ate eggs (we had/have chickens for eggs). My dad told me I needed to stop eating so many eggs, because I was eating 6 a day and that’s a ton of cholesterol, so I stopped eating eggs. Honey was the last thing I gave up, because I didn’t know it wasn’t Vegan. I was eating almond butter mixed with honey or honey in my tea for a few weeks before reading about bees and honey. So, yeah, I guess long-story-short, I went Vegan because I wanted to lose weight, be healthy, and thought “why not? I don’t even like meat or milk.” Oh and the whole ethical and environmental aspect of it. But what really made me go vegan was the idea that I would poop more and they wouldn’t stink. Mind you, but I think poop will smell disgusting whether or not one eats pineapples or bison burgers...

    How have you found your digestive system is working if you know what I mean ? This is something I would wonder about before switching to a diet of nuts n seeds, lots of veg etc.

    Is it just the same as before? Is it better ?

    I poop 2-5 times a day depending on what I eat. I still get bloated (even after 3 years) but only once week really. Again, it depends on what I eat or how much I eat.
    I do remember the first two weeks of going high raw vegan when I was eating lots of fruit and vegetables, I would burp a ton, fart a ton, my face broke out, and i got hot flashes, but then it all went away after that. My body was like “why are you being healthy?!! STOP IT!”

    My best friend, who also happens to be a high raw vegan, drinks this kombucha that taste like cherry cola. I never liked soda, but I asked for a sip and it really did taste like cherry cola! So bizarre.

    What's your stance on fungi in terms of fitting with vegan philosophy?

    I mean, I wouldn’t eat toe cheese, that’s gross. But I still eat mushrooms. I did hear that there’s a mushroom that actually moves around the forest! That’s creepy. Plus, fungi don’t have a central nervous system. They’re kind of like Venus fly traps, I guess.

    lol yeah I mean food people would normally eat. I just thought it's interesting...not a plant, not an animal. So, was curious what the decision-making process is like.

    afaik some or all mushrooms may be decomposers, with a diet so-to-speak that can include animals.

    It seems like an interesting grey-area, philosophy wise. Mushrooms don't have intentions, so it would be hard to say they are morally responsible for any animals they consume.

    I guess it’s like eating bacteria?

    I really do want to know this, and I mean no snark by it, but if vegetarians and vegans are so against eating meat why are there so many meat substitute products?

    I completely understand the moral stance, but you aren't insinuating that eating in any way other than vegan is not healthy are you? As in when you first switched to a Vegan diet and you're body freaked out because you were eating healthy.
