A Friendly Conversation: Exploring Omnivorous vs. Vegetarian Diet

[Monica]

Thank you.

You're welcome.

So Amaranth for complete protein, low-salt yeast extract for B12, ground flaxseed for Omega 3, seaweeds such as kelp for Vit K and Iodine and Sun for Vit D.

If you eat eggs or dairy, you don't need to worry about B12. If you don't eat eggs or dairy, it's advisable to take a supplement. B12 is the only nutrient that is unreliable in the vegan diet; therefore supplementation is advised.

Seems simple enough.

It really is!

Incidentally, I have some golden giant amaranth growing in my garden this summer.

Cool! The leaves are edible too.
