I'm doing my part!

I don't have the spoons to work on this at the moment, but I changed the first line in the community sidebar to what I've interpreted this community to be for.

The vegan place to discuss things.

I really appreciate the discussions from a vegan viewpoint and prefer it much over the blogspam about plant based stuff. I'll try and work harder to remove that kind of content.

My favourite beans are Gigantes plaki and I usually eat it with rigatoni. Very interested in seeing all the kinds of beans people eat here!

At this rate we'll need guide lists for the guide lists! Thanks for this :)

Once you've edited this list enough that it feels ok, could we archive it or distribute it in a way that involves not using google? It'll make sure it doesn't get taken down in future and people who don't/can't use google services will be able to see it as well.

Also, I got asked to pin this (to which I did), but I didn't realise it didn't come from you! Hope you don't mind!

I tested it using the api on this instance /api/v3/post/like and I was unable to downvote any post. I also tried /api/v3/comment/like and it would also fail due to {"error":"downvotes_are_disabled"}⏎ .

I made sure to try and downvote a comment/post on an instance with downvotes enabled.

Not sure why people are saying you can, unless I've completely screwed this up, but it seems that downvotes don't work at all via the api if it's disabled.

I'll start. I recently got some bloods done and I am very magnesium deficient (0.4 mmol/L) which would probably explain the chest pain, tremors, and eye twitches I get. Fortunately it should be pretty easy to fix and it seems to be the only deficiency I have right now (other electrolytes, iron, vitamin d, are all good), I'll just have to start taking more magnesium supplements. Has anyone experienced magnesium deficiency before? What foods to you eat to combat it?

I looked online and the image is from this tumblr post: https://www.someveganfacts.com/post/142697252805/fact-015-source

It lists this as its source: http://comfortablyunaware.com/blog/the-world-hunger-food-choice-connection-a-summary/

It sounds plausible, but @MsSprouts@vegantheoryclub.org it should be backed up with a source!

I feel so called out haha

I should check Australia’s stance on whether the label is regulated.

It either isn't or it's not done properly as I've seen lots of 'plant based' stuff here with egg and honey in it. It's a huge step backwards as anything can slap 'plant based' on it whereas a lot of the older vegan products had to pay to get certified as vegan and that actually meant something.

Edit:

"Plant-based can mean anything that a company wants it to."
