Thank you, Tina.
I go for B-12 shots as I don't absorb it intestinally. I didn't absorb it even when I consumed meat, years ago.
I easily consume plenty of protein from plant food alone, more than my body requires.
I agree with you re: eggs--yuck! I don't crave the dairy as I'm very allergic to it and have been my whole life.
It is essential to honour oneself re: food/nutrition/cravings. I haven't been able to find decent faux-cheese, etc. Most fake things, if you compare them to the real thing are supremely lacking.
I don't miss meat/poultry a bit. Occaisonally, though, I miss egg whites (not yolks) and lean fish, I confess. However, bad experiences and conscience deter me.
Yes indeed, we vegetarians and vegans often get "put on the spot." I hate feeling picked on. I do admit to over-reacting. It's really hard not to.
Kate, IBS-D--nearly A!!!
