@@dantemadden1533 Hi there! What vitamins do you get from dead animals? Vitamins A, B, C, D, E, K can all be obtained from plants. D3 is the one most people (of whatever diet) lack, and it's fed deliberately to farmed animals so meat-eaters get it from the meat. Might as well eat it directly without passing it through another digestive system first! Many athletes are vegan, including Ironman and other endurance athletes. We're all good and healthy, no worries on that score. 😊💚
@malikjackson93373 жыл бұрын
@@sarahvegangarden4822 D3 is also found in fatty fish like Wild Salmon, Sardines and Halibut. You're typically not going to get that from muscle meat but rather fish and eggs. Plants also lack preformed Vitamin A retinol, Vitamin K2 MK4, omega-3s DHA and EPA and heme iron which is much better absorbed than non heme iron. (Plants also have less favorable amino acid profiles usually lacking BCAAs, methionine, glycine and taurine in meaningful amounts) The minerals and protein in plants are also lower quality due to poor absorption via anti nutrient content.

Also something interesting to note. Cold water dosent kill fish. So when big fish farms move there fish from the pond to a trucks they have a tank that’s set to a colder temperature so fish can survive if it’s hotter it can kill the fish. That’s why when you buy pet goldfish they tell you to set the bag in the aquarium so the water in the bag will gently level out to the temp in the aquarium that’s extremely important fish are more sensitive than you may believe
