Luckily most plants contain a variety of those essential amino acids, with some plants containing a complete protein profile. Making it pretty hard not to get the right balance of amino acids on a varied whole foods plant based diet [1].

Vegans supplement B12 and omega-3, not amino acids. Those supplements are also fed to the animals that are supposedly providing the nutrients "naturally" [2, 3]. So it's more efficient to just get them directly without the suffering middle man.

It's not arbitrary to exclude plants from moral worth. They don't have the neural substrate to deploy conciousness, animals do.

For anyone actually interested, vegan omega-3 comes from algae oil - fish are not the only source.

Which essential amino acids can't be obtained from plants?

Soybeans, quinoa, and buckwheat are complete protein sources. More importantly, pretty much any grain (wheat, oats, barley, rice) plus any legume (peas, green beans, beans, lentils, chickpeas, peanuts) are a complete source of amino acids.

Omega-3 accumulates in fatty fish, who obtain it by eating krill and other small animals, who obtain it by eating algae. Algae oil is available as a supplement. Also, Omega-3 is in tree nuts like walnuts, as well as flax and chia.

Oh, and B12 supplements come from yeast and mushrooms, not bacteria.

If you're gonna go hard at vegans you should at least get your facts straight.

Have you ever heard the term "disproportional response"

[–] theUwUhugger@lemmy.world -4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

A proponent of a movement that irks me used shock value in hope of avoiding the biological side of the argument, which should be far more important than consideration for lesser animals in order to spread itself for nothing more but self gratification of some cunts…

While no I have not heard of that, assuming the word is self-descriptive, I don’t think I did that at all

They didn't say anything about veganism

I'd bring her Millennium Falcon.

A) there are really cool flowers out there and you're missing out of you write them all off based on the kinds of flowers that normally get used in a bouquet.

B) you'd better marry him.
