Well said just one question are any of the activist in this video vegan or vegetarian?

[nyc4animals]

@69brokendreams We are vegan.

[69brokendreams]

@nyc4animals Cool. My cousin is 14 and is trying to be vegan do you have any advice i could give her. Apart from think about the animals your hurting. She is already vegetarian but she wants to go that one step further.

@69brokendreams Hi. I assume you mean nutritional advice? Since she is already vegetarian, it shouldn't be too difficult to give up the dairy products. Nowadays there are so many more options than there used to be. There is now almond, hemp or soy milk, Daiya vegan cheese (for those who find it hard to give up cheese) and make sure she eats a variety of vegetables and takes a Vit. B12 supplement.

@nyc4animals She is finding that the only dairy products she can eat without getting ill is eggs so that is the main reason but she struggles on the part of how to get enough iron into her diet.

@69brokendreams I was trying to post some websites for you but youtube doesn't seem to allow that. If you google iron in the vegan diet you will get many resources of vegan choices that are rich in iron.

@nyc4animals Okay thanks. :) Have you heard of the youtube channel "animalaid".

[nyc4animals]

@69brokendreams Yes, they are based in the UK.

@nyc4animals My cousin is very fond of the work that they do she does not like animal abuse which is a very good thing :)
