    Sugar has the best calories/co2 balance.

    Most vegans don’t need supplements. Just check your b12/iron every 2-3 years

      This is false. Your B12 reserves will deplete slowly but surely if you don’t supplement. Iron, ferritn, and a complete blood count containing hemoglobin and red blood cell indices should be checked more often than once 2-3 years. Many vegans will need supplements, especially young women.

        There are now various sources of B12, the main for me is some kind of Plant Milk. Not all but most of them contain B12.

          You also need to check the quantities, as it’s often not enough. Also, ingredient lists and nutritional values can’t always be trusted.
