I'm a vegan - do you eat meat?
Yes, I eat meat. It seems necessary to survive. And I also like the taste. 
when you say necessary to survive do you mean because of all the protein in meat?  I do miss the taste of meat for sure. 
Yes! That's exactly what I mean. I find that its filling and provides all the protein needed to survive. I don't know much about veganism. Why did you choose to eat this way?

So I choose not to eat any of it.  I get protein from plants but I'm aware it's not as good as from meat.  Would you ever give up meat?

Avoidance of animal products may require dietary supplements to prevent deficiencies such as vitamin B12 deficiency, which leads to pernicious anemia.

I certainly did not say that you are not allowed to eat meat at all. That would be difficult. Whether it is because of previous karma or their present circumstances, some people cannot do without meat. This is how it is, and there’s nothing to do about it. It’s not a problem."
