About 10% of calorie intake is the protein sweet spot. Incidentally about the average you would get from a divers whole foods plant based diet. Meat diets will struggle to get that low. In fact, the Norwegian government has stated that it w

Not fair. Upgrading java libs like spring is just as laboursome given enough major releases have lapsed. Backenders need need to get their oumf out of their oumfs, and realize this is all about what you’re used to. Upgrading spring if you k

The only supplements in our household are b12 and vitamin D. B12 is a supplement in everyone’s diet in the western world already, as I have argued, and vitamin D is universally recommended supplement in the northern region anyway due to lac

Our livestock is given chemically manufactured b12 supplements because the soil is being depleted of the microbiology that produces and leaves it on plant material which is the natural way to get it. So everyone, including meat eaters are c

So we need research and educational efforts into plant based nutrition instead of pumping all tax money into marketing and subsidies for the meat and dairy industry. Big surprise. I’m raising two perfectly healthy vegan kids. They are above

I don’t know about the US but at least in Norway it’s stated as a reason. Age, geography and diagnosis is sometimes enough to identify a person, and there are regulations governing that here.
