@gambrel saidMy dog eats any vegetable or fruit and helps herself to anything she can reach in the garden like green beans, blackberries, cabbage, carrots and even a rotten beetroot off the compost heap.
Are dogs omnivorous?
Pretty sure cats are carnivores, but will snack on greens.
@drewnogal saidShe will live long, I'm sure. One of ours eats anything, we catch her sometimes, chomping away on some foul thing in the garden, ('Ah, decomposing rat, that'll keep me going 'til supper....' ) then she gets sick, and never seems to learn....Our other one is a fuss - pot and only deigns to eat certain foods.

@shallow-blue saidI was a strict veggie when living in England, (plenty of meat substitutes in the shops) , which didn't translate well to living in darkest Indonesia; (no milk or cheese, and so on) I lost (too much) weight and got quite sick for a while so started eating meat and fish. I got better. Now it's easier, better food available as our local city developed, so it's back to veggiism again. Rural Indonesian food is as a whole very healthy, no processed foods and so on, but you have to keep the balance.
Quite a lot of vegans get their B12 from sources that are either au fond not actually vegan, or if they are, quite a bit more damaging to the environment than if they were. Humans aren't built for veganism.
Mostly vegetarianism is doable. Complete vegetarianism is hard, unless you're lucky enough to have a hardy constitution and live in a rich country ( ...[text shortened]... expect to die at 35 whether or not you eat meat, poor sod). Veganism? No. We didn't evolve for that.

@drewnogal saidNothing ventured...🤔👍
I agree, I tried it because of familial high cholesterol and a need to stop my Statin medication which gave me side effects. Being vegan made me very skinny and I then read about possible deficiencies in certain amino acids and Omega 3. I now eat oily fish and dairy produce of the lower saturated fat type and avoid foods which contain artificial trans fats or are high in sugar. I’m hoping this will help?
@indonesia-phil saidRats! 😧 It’s amazing what some dogs will eat.
