FAQs
How do I know if something is really Vegan?
Ingredient labels are required on all food goods in most countries, so it's usually just a matter of checking the label. Of course, you'll have to figure out which elements are derived from animals, but that's a simple choice.
How can Vegans meet their Vitamin-B12 needs?
The topic of B-12 generates as much confusion and incorrect advice as any other vegan question, so it's critical to get accurate information. For most vegans, taking a cheap high-dose cyanocobalamin-based sublingual tablet every two or three days is the easiest approach to ensure optimal B-12 status. We also have a blog post that you can check out, with much more detailed information about B-12 Sources for Vegans. Just click this link (How to Get Vitamin B12 Naturally on a Vegan Diet)

What is the Vegan status of beer, wine, and distilled spirits?
Many wines, as well as most beers and distilled beverages, are vegan. Barnivore.com is the go-to site for determining whether or not a beer or wine is vegan-friendly.
Is a Vegan diet more or less expensive than a non-vegetarian diet?
Because the cost and quality of the meals we eat vary so widely, it's difficult to draw a definitive comparison. However, a low-cost vegan diet will generally be less expensive (and considerably healthier) than a low-cost omnivore diet. Even a lavish vegan diet will never be as costly as a diet based on high-priced meats and cheeses produced with the highest levels of animal welfare.
Do plants have feelings?
This question is rarely asked in good faith, and it is frequently used to divert a conversation away from more fruitful topics. Anyone who claims to be concerned about whether plants have feelings should be forced to see a few minutes of slaughterhouse footage and a few minutes of grain harvesting footage. On this subject, consider Alan Watts' response to the issue of why he opted to eat a vegetarian diet: "Because cows scream louder than carrots."

Woody Harrelson, Joaquin Phoenix, Evanna Lynch, Alicia Silverstone, Ellen Degeneres, James Cromwell, Miley Cyrus, Jared Leto, Sia, Ariana Grande, Liam Hemsworth, Stevie Wonder, RZA, and Moby are among the most well-known names (sources: Bustle and Glamour.)
