  • Generally, people who eat animal products several time per say don’t need to supplement with B12. But I remember reading that elders absorb it not as well and can’t rely even on animal products, and may need to supplement.

    Yes, fortified nutritional yeast is a source too. One should make sure their nutritional yeast is fortified berfore relying on it for B12. If it’s not fortified with B12, it doesn’t contain any.

    Fortified nutritional yeast needs to be kept in a dark place, preferably refrigerated.

    I use it in pesto in place of cheese and everyone, omnivores included, love it.


  • Protein: legumes (beans, lentils, peanuts, chickpeas, tofu and other solid soy products)

    Calcium: fortified plant milks (convenient) or cruciferous leaves and flowers (healthy) such as collards, kale, or broccoli. Tofu is a good source too. Avoid excessive intakes of salt.

    Iron: eat vitamin-C rich food with your meals, such as bell peppers, lemon/lime juice on your food, or drink orange juice.

    B-12: you must supplement, either with gummies, fortified plant milk or processed vegan products (vegan sausages, vegan “turkey” slices, etc.)

    A vitamin: carrots, cruciferous leaves and flowers (see calcium), squash, cantaloup. Eat with fatty food for better absorption. Eg. Minestrone soup (kale and olive oil)

    Omega-3 : tofu is a good source. Flaxseed oil has enough in a teaspoon – it works well on salads. Some nuts are a good source too.

  • I’ve read a shortened version - I found it lacking in comparison to a modern fantasy novel. I didn’t really care about the characters, their motivations were strange, the build up to the war felt forced, it’s unclear why seemingly every leader in the world cares enough about the brothers’ conflict to send their forces and have them all die, and it wasn’t clear how exactly the heroes were killing so many enemies so quickly (thousands in a matter of minutes I believe?).

    But then, making any sense might be irrelevent for the function of myth.
