Deuteronomy 30:16
Do you travel in motor vehicles? Do you walk around with a broom in hand to brush away all potential insects that might come across your path?
Knock it off with the staw-mans. FYI, I don't drive.

Yep it's microbial. Mostly obtained by ingesting feces , insects and organic matter that contains the bacteria and any trace amount that comes with ingesting plants. Plants tend to not carry enough of the microbes to warrant a significant enough amount to produce b12 so it had to be obtained somewhere else. Pretty gross but effective enough source for a wandering herbivore as per the abstract.

Maybe not washing the veggies is a good thing in a natural environment? ....
I think there is only one other source where the bacteria is present other than animal. A specific algae called
Chlorella.
Dunno how long that's been around on an evolutionary scale nor the demographic as to weither it's widespread or localised making it worth considering as a primary source.
Repeatedly saying that the Buddha was a Hindu does not make it true. IMO Buddhism grew out of Vedism, just like Hinduism grew out of Vedism. "If you do not understand Buddhism then what else can I do but to try to explain it to you? "Buddhist, you have a lot to understand. Buddha is my guru, one of the two (the other is the first Sankaracharya). Buddha and Sankaracharya, it is a deadly combination. He gave me 'Kalama Sutta', i.e., the way to differentiate between truth and falsehood. He, for Hindus, is the ninth and the latest avatara of Lord Vishnu. I do not think you can own the whole of Gautama, the Buddha, and leave nothing for Hindus. As @ShivaFan has repeatedly said, Buddha was a Hindu. If you do not understand Buddhism then what else can I do but to try to explain it to you?
I didn't ask if you drive, I asked if you travel in motor vehicles, and I don't see it as a straw man at all.Knock it off with the staw-mans. FYI, I don't drive.
Buddhism did not grow out of Vedic relgion. It was from the indigenous religious thoughts (now termed as Hinduism). It was against Vedic religion. Hinduism has many stories of conflict with Vedic religion, I hope you know one or two: 1. Destruction of Daksha's yajna by Shiva 2. Defeat of Indra by Krishna when he lifted Govardhan mountain to save people of Vraja from Indra's deluge 3. Branding of Indra as a sexual criminal and stopping his worship. Mahavira and Buddha were part of the same struggle against Brahmanism.Repeatedly saying that the Buddha was a Hindu does not make it true.

We'll agree to disagree then.Buddhism did not grow out of Vedic relgion. It was from the indigenous religious thoughts (now termed as Hinduism). It was against Vedic religion.

Everyone has to take life to live.

You certainly do.Humph. Not vegans.
You certainly do.
As far as I'm concerned, you've created your own new vegan/vegetarianism religion, with your own interpretations about Buddha and of Jesus - and that's fine, you cannot be anything but be true to your understanding.it is better to be malnourished than to continue to take another life so you can preserve yours, but it is not human nature in any circumstance to constantly depend on flesh to live.
That's pretty much it. =0)I personally don't care what the Buddha was, I don't worship his body, the Buddha is no different than anyone else, he achieved nothing that we all haven't got already,he was simply an example of what we all are.;......that is if we realized it.
Yes it is, but then there's the story, some rather the long way home.That's pretty much it. =0)

No. I have great regard for the Precepts, I just happen to disagree with your interpretation of those precepts.Meanwhile your main concern seems to be self-justification of your meat-craving, and you apparently have little regard for the first precept, Right Livelihood, Right Intention, Right Mindfulness, and so on.
