How does this follow in any way? You know that the distinction of “supplement” and “regular part of the diet” is completely arbitrary, right? What’s the difference between regular supplementation and the requirement of “having to hydrate” or “eat your greens for your vitamins” to be healthy? It’s even less logical/relevant considering many replacement products add B12 etc on their own by now.

Also factory farmed animals are getting B12 fed as a supplement, which makes this argument even weirder. “Pills bad/not part of the diet”, but feeding the same pills to pigs and then eating their meat to get the same nutrients is suddenly “ok and natural/good diet”? Doesn’t make sense to me.

No, since the claim “veganism does cause intellectual deficiencies” is still wrong, because veganism doesn’t cause this, a lack of supplementation does. And most vegans supplement adequately. So saying that veganism “per default” causes this would be dishonest, because it implies that not properly supplementing is the default/intrinsic to veganism, which is not the case.

It’s like saying “drinking alcohol kills you” just because you have to be mindful of limiting your consumption and it can kill you if you don’t. An extreme statement that contains a kernel of truth, but is simply not correct.

Your response isn’t any better, to be honest. Yes, there is a certain risk of a negative impact on cognitive performance related to a large and long-time B12 or iron deficiency. But there is a large difference between “you have to take supplements to be healthy” and a blanket claim of “veganism does cause intellectual deficiencies”, especially considering most vegans supplement.

Side note: the B12 in factory farmed meat is also supplemented to those animals, otherwise their meat wouldn’t contain it, being produced under those conditions. One can only hope all farmers actually do this

Google Translate (oder ein ähnliches Tool) hat eine kamerabasierte Übersetzungsfunktion. Du richtest dein Handy auf den zu übersetzenden Text und die App editiert den Originaltext weg und ersetzt ihn mit der Übersetzung. OP hat das mit einer koreanischen Website gemacht und sich an dem entstandenen Zangendeutsch erfreut. Um uns daran teilhaben zu lassen, hat er einen Screenshot erstellt und hier gepostet.

Ein Weg aus dem Hamsterrad könnte sein, dass man sich überlegt, ob “in den Urlaub fahren” denn wirklich die einzige Form der Entspannung für einen ist. Einfach eine Woche mit ein paar Tagesausflügen, Hobbyprojekten oder einfach einem guten Buch zu verbringen kann auch sehr entspannend (und günstig) sein. Ich merk das jedes Mal, wenn ich auf Arbeit sage, dass ich eine Woche Urlaub nehme und sofort die Frage kommt “wo fährst du hin” - statt “was machst du”. Nur weil es gesellschaftlicher status quo ist, muss es nicht die beste Lösung für einen sein. :)

Why be concerned about your cats behaving “like a proper cat” as long as they are healthy and happy?

I live in a country where these measurements aren’t used, so without any background knowledge I interpreted the comma as “and” at first. Looking at the picture, I’m pretty sure it’s meant to be “or” instead, in which case they should have used a slash instead of a comma imo.
