Move is part of a long-awaited Labour strategy including outlawing hen cages and ending puppy farming

Boiling lobsters while they are alive and conscious will be banned as part of a government strategy to improve animal welfare in England.

Government ministers say that “live boiling is not an acceptable killing method” for crustaceans and alternative guidance will be published.

The practice is already illegal in Switzerland, Norway and New Zealand. Animal welfare charities say that stunning lobsters with an electric gun or chilling them in cold air or ice before boiling them is more humane.

    supplement your diet with B12. That’s the only nutrient that can’t be found naturally in plant-based sources

    that’s not true

      Yes it is. Everything except B12 can either be found in some plant-based foods, or produced by your body. B12 is the only supplement you need.

          Yeah, I guess I’m not entirely accurate, because you can get some tiny amount of B12 from plant-based sources (e.g. nori). But it’s probably not enough, so vegans should supplement it. The rest is probably fine unless you’re blasting junk food every day.

            I’m more concerned that you’re asserting everything else is in plant based foods. it’s not and you should stop lying to people before they hurt themselves.
