Fortunately, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a layperson choosing to eat a plant based diet. And Fortunately, the barbaric practices of modern day animal agriculture, that exist today, didn't exist during the Buddha's time.
Fortunately, one does not have to buy factory farmed meat to eat meat :)
Fortunately, one does not have to buy any kind.
Unless they have very good reason to, such as their health.

And when health is fine without it, which it is for millions of people, it's fine.

And the largest organization of nutrition professionals in the world disagrees with that assessment. Not a coincidence. :D

From Mayo Clinic



See, most of these nutrients are animal sources, so even vegans supplementing are still consuming animal foods. Thus they are "Supplmentarians" not Vegans.

Even the NHS said Omega 3 from plants doesn't have the same benefits as Fish omega 3.

So at the end of the day, either you're a dying vegan, or you're an Animal Supplementarian like seeker242 and Sam Vega

Seeker242, are all your supplements 100% derived from plants? Is your b12 derived from animals or plants? What about the other 6 nutrients?

Are you an animal supplementarian or a dying vegan?

Fake Vegans are Animal Supplementarians, and Real Vegans are dying. Taking an animal product in pill form doesn't make you a vegan.
While seaweed, algae, and certain mushrooms all contain vitamin B-12, they are not reliable sources because they do not act the same way in the human body. Studies have found that consuming these foods does not significantly increase a person's vitamin B-12 levels and can still lead to a deficiency.

A vegetarian should be sure to consume enough of the following foods on a regular basis. It is vital to understand how much vitamin B-12 these foods contain:

Evidence suggests that vegetarian sources of omega-3 fatty acids may not have the same benefits for reducing the risk of heart disease as those in oily fish.

What's a "fake vegan"? I would have thought that animal products would be listed in the ingredients for supplements, and they would be the ones vegans avoid. Lots of capsules used to be made from gelatine, for example, but here in the UK they couldn't be marketed as vegan.
