I'll start. I recently got some bloods done and I am very magnesium deficient (0.4 mmol/L) which would probably explain the chest pain, tremors, and eye twitches I get. Fortunately it should be pretty easy to fix and it seems to be the only deficiency I have right now (other electrolytes, iron, vitamin d, are all good), I'll just have to start taking more magnesium supplements. Has anyone experienced magnesium deficiency before? What foods to you eat to combat it?

I WAS GOING TO POST IT IN ISO STANDARD ANYWAYS SO THAT'S WHY @HAMID IS DOING IT

It sounds plausible, but @MsSprouts@vegantheoryclub.org it should be backed up with a source!

I feel so called out haha

I should check Australia’s stance on whether the label is regulated.

It either isn't or it's not done properly as I've seen lots of 'plant based' stuff here with egg and honey in it. It's a huge step backwards as anything can slap 'plant based' on it whereas a lot of the older vegan products had to pay to get certified as vegan and that actually meant something.

Edit:

"Plant-based can mean anything that a company wants it to."

Lentils are the best. Looks tasty!
