An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Not everyone gets enough exposure to the sun to synthesize Vitamin D at sufficient levels. It depends on your skin type, where you live and what kind of lifestyle you live. It's a good idea to monitor your blood for nutritional deficiencies, but not everyone does.
That's not at all specific to veganism though. If your doctor prescribed you vitamin D obviously keep it up, just like if they prescribed you anything else. however vegans don't need to supplement vitamin D any more than the next person.
That's not at all what I said though, is it?
Sorry, I assumed that you understood the context you were replying in. Forgive me, I thought too highly of you.
You oversimplified something I felt was important and I elaborated on it. I guess I can only apologize that I wasn't quite prepared for combative, condescending horseshit in my replies.
