I feel really good about my diet though. I eat so many delicious foods and it's so easy to supplement B12 and Vitamin D. And flaxseed oil is awesome for the fatty acids. I know I'm not deficient in any vitamins because I've had my blood tested.
Going vegan is one of the best things I ever did. Not just for me, but for the animals and the planet!!! Vegans rock!!! Glad to meet another one here on the forum! We sure are in the minority.
Which kinds of begs the question: how can eating meat be a cure for anxiety if the overwhelming majority of people already eat meat? So to the OP, I have to say that, no, personally, I don't understand where you're coming from. And, honestly, I wouldn't eat meat, eggs or dairy again if I was paid. But that's just me........
