Well, I'm not well-versed in the practical aspects of veganism, but I know
a few vegans who are certainly more heathly than I. From a practical point
of view, if such nutrients weren't available, all vegans would be
suffering from the amino-acid equivalent of scurvy. However, since I'm not
interested in giving up pork ribs and beef steaks, I guess I won't be
pursuing the answer.

Besides, the currency discussion is much more interesting. ;-)
