B12 came up during the guest appearance on RTHK Radio 3 last week. The response I gave on radio 3 was that as per on the B12 page of the Vegan Society website; namely that for reliable adequate intake of B12 vegans should consume either a supplement or fortified food that contains B12. Someone in social media coincidentally posted an interesting different opinion just after that. This is the follow up.
Today’s Backchat show on RTHK Radio 3 had Vegetarianism as the primary discussion topic. A delegated media request from the Hong Kong Vegan Association was received and fulfilled. A podcast of the show is now available here. With numerous other people on the show and limited time frame it’s unrealistic to expect the chance to personally reply to most points made in the broadcast. Thus here’s a further very short response to three of the points raised in the show.
The recent 10 tips on going vegan came up in a subsequent conversation. This led to an excellent point being made. If you are giving vegan a try it’s a great idea to consider getting a health check if you can. Here’s why.
Peta Asia have published their top 10 Asian vegan friendly cities. It’s abundant in nonsense, has very non-vegan endorsements and has absurd omissions. Here’s the low down and a much better list.

This petition has been drafted requesting the cinema screening in Hong Kong of the new documentary, Eating You Alive.
Shara Ng passed across this media request. Thanks Lauren James at the SCMP for covering this issue in this article.
