Sergio: Yeah, my girlfriend is such a kid Even now when shes grownup she doesn't like meat, and have practically vegetarian ration. Would she like to go all the way to eating vegetarian, preferrable vegan? Does she understand that it is completely possible (easier, actually!) to grow up well and live healthfully on an entirely plant-based diet? DP> In other words, everything I could ever hope for in a daughter, and more. It's cool, my congratulations! Thank you! :-) I am very grateful. Sergio: But what kind of B12 you take? We take 1000 micrograms of a sublingual supplement per day. Sometimes we forget... no big deal, but mostly everyday. I know that sounds like a big dose, but apparently many people don't absorb it well, and that is considered to be the " safe in all cases " dose. DP> What part of the world are you in? I'm in Europe in Republic of Moldova. Cool! How big is vegetarianism where you live? Deborah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
