I hope that doesn’t come off like I’m lamely trying to justify a return to cooked food. I’m just sharing the honest realizations I’m having along the way. Make of it what you will.

I just think you're an interesting character, and honest--always enjoy your stuff.
That's really a conundrum you brought up! I do suspect the Middle Way is wise.
As I said on your Day 18 blog forum, I wouldn't want to risk permanent neurological damage to a child by being a vegan pregnant/nursing mother, and trusting Subjective Reality to make B12 for the baby out of the ethers.
Also wouldn't feed a small child vegan today, even though I did that with my children. Just too risky, IMO.
If B12 has to be supplemented, then that means the diet is
inadequate. This is a no-brainer, even for vegan-brained me (these days).
But, it's still a puzzle to me. My idealism longs for dietary purity, etc., etc., but I heavily suspect this part of myself of being flaky these days.
