With my allergies and other health experiences, I barely survive on a vegetarian diet, nevermind vegan. .
So what does one say to my sector of the population? We won't ascend because we can't survive on plants alone? We will never progress spiritually because our ill health requires us to eat animal sources of protein?

Thats a tricky situation to be in. If it effects your own health and well being, then you have no choice, its just something you cant do. You have tried it to you own detriment maybe this is enough. I have heard acording to you blood group that this can affect which foods you can eat.
Maybe its ones frame of mind that counts towards ascention, living in harmany with the world around us.
I have always thought it was a fallacy put out by meat eaters that you need meat, maybe I am wrong.
I personally have never had any ill health or felt less fit or had less energy from being vegan. I would go as far to say I feel much better for it.
I am not blowing my own trumpet, but I am a lot fitter than most people.
As for B12 vitamin, I looked at my chocolate alpro soya milk and for a 250ml serving you get 1.25ug or 125% of your RDA(recommended daily allowance) of B12 amongst other things + For 30g of my cornflakes I get 30% of my B12s
Maybe thats why I havent gone completely crazy despite what my freinds say!
