SUZHOU (CHINA) - When Han Jiali's beloved cat Dabai was taken from her Shanghai home last year, she embarked on a hunt for her pet that took her deep into the bowels of China's underground feline meat trade.

      Just because something is natural does not make it the optimal or best choice. It’s natural for us to shit in the woods but I don’t see many people arguing we should do away with toilets. As for B12, there are plenty of vegan sources and supplements readily available

          Unless I misinterpret your comment, doesn’t the link just show fortified food that contains the same “artificial” vitamins as the supplements do?

            Not sure why the link jumps to the middle of the article but scrolling up shows foods that are naturally high in B-12

            Supplements can be important and needed for some people but relying on supplements and telling others to, “just take supplements,” isn’t a solution to nutritional deficiencies caused by diet

            Basically eating a well rounded diet should get you the nutrients you need, a doctor will be able to tell you if you’re lacking in some areas and if you should take supplements to fill in some gaps

            Edit: Fixed the link in my previous comment.

              I guess the problem was that I only considered vegan options. A vegetarian diet ss certainly possible without any supplements. However, there are simply no vegan natural B12 sources. Thank you for clarifying though! :)
