Do we have vegans here?

I've never heard any connection between veganism and mental health problems, which is why I'm confused.

I don't engage people in the ethics of veganism unless they ask me to, because it never leads anywhere otherwise. I am doing what I think is right, and other people are doing what they think is right. It's not quite as simple as minding my own business though, because animals are unwilling participants in the whole thing. If they were humans instead, no one would expect me to mind my own business. They just have much reduced status.

It is on their behalf that I would speak, but I've accepted that I need to pick my battles. Society has normalized the current status, and most people are fine to go along with that. That's their decision.

From what educated people on this matter say, justly there is a price you must pay if you care for animals. You can't be as strong mentally and physically if you replace natural source of nutrients with artificial. Affordable/cheap supplements have bad vitamin sources. There is a price for vegan diet, unless you have money to compensate with organic and good supplements.
