    Yeah I probably should have, thanks for those links.

    The existence of products designed to inject B12 is different to what I interpreted the person who I replied to was saying though.

    I understood them as saying that farms are injecting B12 into animals so that meat gains some kind of nutrient that isn’t naturally occurring or not occurring at an appreciable level.

    I have no doubt animals have all kinds of vitamin deficiencies and receive supplements to improve the over all health of the animal and the nutritional value of meat.

    But is this the reason they are injecting B12?

    Obviously I’ll read more on it.

    EDIT: so the very first link basically confirmed what I just said, when an animal is deficient in B12 farmers inject it to make it more healthy. They aren’t injecting B12 into animals because animals just don’t have B12…

    Yeah what you’re describing is basically humans make morals.

    The problem you should have with this is that currently society is fine with eating animal products.

    Many societies were successful because they ate meat.

    How do you reconcile a situation where you believe humans are the source of morals but you disagree with a particular moral created by humans I.e. that it’s ok to eat meat?

    I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.

    B12 is produced by microorganisms inside the guts of cows/ruminants.

    They don’t inject B12 into animals as far as I know. Maybe you could link a source for that? First I’ve ever heard of it.

    Vegans. Vegans are claiming there are moral facts when they say that I am wrong for consuming animal products.

    Although I’ve had discussions with vegans who claim they aren’t moral realists, I can’t recall a satisfactory argument for a moral anti-realist vegan position.

    If you’d like to offer one, please do.
