They don't use meat products

They are also insufferably smug

Notice that two of the most important vegan food groups are smugness and self-righteousness (some bad language in the last link)

Its about eating no animal fats

I myself am not a Vegan but a Vegetarian, i drink milk, eat cheese, enjoy crusty bread etc etc Vegans may be so because of moral issues (a perception of the cruelty to livestock being fed unnatural products in order to produce more milk) or may be for some perception of health reasons or it may be religious or ethical, it all depends on the individual.

In the mid 70's I developed bleeding ulcers and back then there was no treatment except a bland diet. I turned to a partial vegan diet. No red meat, refined sugar and no alcohol. I got my B12 from ocean fish after reading of health problems created by a B12 deficiency. After 3 years my ulcer was healed and I returned to my regular diet. Never had an ulcer problem again.

There may be many reasons why someone has a B12 deficiency and not all are associated with diet. If someone is going to live on a Vegan diet then they should thoroughly research the subject.

Inadequate dietary intake of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 occurs in animal products (eggs, meat, milk) and recent research indicates it may also occur in some algae, such as Chlorella[34][35][36] and Susabi-nori (Porphyra yezoensis).[37][38][39] B12 isolated from bacterial cultures is also added to many fortified foods, and available as a dietary supplement [40] Vegans, and also vegetarians but to a lesser degree, may be at risk for B12 deficiency due to inadequate dietary intake of B12, since they may not be aware of the few non-animal dietary sources of vitamin B12. However, B12 deficiency can occur even in people who consume meat, poultry, and fish intake.[10] Children are at a higher risk for B12 deficiency due to inadequate dietary intake, as they have fewer vitamin stores and a relatively larger vitamin need per calorie of food intake.

I heard that Guinness has vitamin B in it but can neither confirm nor deny its veracity, it could be a myth. Had some awesome English ales while watching the footy last night, Bishops finger from Kent and Golden goose just in case I was deficient in vitamin B, one can never be too careful you know 😀

Severe alcohol abuse can cause Korsakoff's syndrome, a deficiency of vitamin B1.

Och the shame of it, a man having to drink a blended whisky in this day and age! Still after the refereeing decisions its enough to make any man turn to the bottle for solace and comfort 😵
