One of the main criticisms I have received during my time as a vegan has to do with how I will maintain iron levels in my blood. This was especially important this past Friday because I wanted to donate blood during my school's blood drive. In order to give blood, my finger was pricked and my blood was tested for iron to ensure I had sufficent amounts. The test showed that I had healthy levels of iron in my blood. So, this will no longer be a concern for me as I continue my vegan adventure.
Today, I read a very interesting article in The New York Times about fake meat and its effects on the environment and the food industry. To me, it was fascinating and his experiences with fake meats I found very similar to mine. I have posted the link at the bottom of this post and I hope you all will check it out.
Iron-y,
