schestowitzit's complicated. librem.one could be a force for good in terms of pushing FLOSS services to non-technical consumers. but, so far, my interactions with them have not been confidence inspiring: having to basically beg them to agree to use the abuse feedback loop everyone else has agreed upon using, for example, is not so great.May 08 06:24
schestowitzultimately, librem.one services are only useful for marketing toward consumers if the services have excellent sender reputation, after all, an email or SNS service where most interactions are dropped due to bad sender reputation, is useless. the decisions they are making, i believe, will result in less than excellent sender reputation, which is unfortunate.May 08 06:24

schestowitzJust take a daily multivitamin/multimineral supplement appropriate for your age and sex (which you should be doing even if you’re not vegan), and drink calcium-enriched orange juice with every meal. The first takes care of B12, iodine, etc., and the second adds calcium and helps absorption of non-hemic iron. It’s the ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and citric acid that make the difference. Vegan food has just as much iron, but you need someMay 08 07:36
schestowitzsour stuff to react with the iron.May 08 07:36
schestowitzWe vegans already know about this. An article like this could educate new prospective vegans about the basics. It’s pretty simple.May 08 07:36
schestowitzSpecies that are naturally restricted to vegan diets don’t need to do anything special, but the secret to our genus’ success is our ability to use technologies like cooking and combining food ingredients in ways that nature doesn’t to enable us to adapt to a wide variety of diets. Humans thrive on vegan diets. We just need to use the adaptability that made our genus a success.May 08 07:36
schestowitzBTW, the word “vegan” was invented to solve a problem. Many people were using vegetarian to mean eating all sorts of animal products, but not beef and pork. Part of the problem is weird religious ideas about eating animals, and part is just hypocrisy.May 08 07:36
schestowitzVegans eat no animal products at all. People still seem to have trouble understanding even this simple definition, so I spell it out for them. It’s vegan if it’s a plant, part of a plant, a mushroom, a truffle, or yeast. Otherwise, it’s not vegan. To biologists: a vegan diet excludes all organisms of the kingdom animalia, and includes organisms of the kingdoms plantia and protista.May 08 07:36
schestowitzThe most expensive item in my weekly groceries is the calcium-enriched orange juice. A week’s vegan bread is about $4 (more expensive than non-vegan bread), and everything else is under $3. Total bill for the week is a little less than $30. About $4 a day.May 08 07:36
