I had a blood test done a year after I became vegetarian at my GP, and everything was normal but I had a slight vitamin D deficiency. This was around 4 years ago now, haven't had one since then though. 

Most people of our ethnic group suffer from Vitamin D deficiency particularly in colder climates. 

Mushrooms are good source of Vitamin D apparently. 

But of course it is no substitute for being outside in the sunshine.

The Vitamin D thing is being overplayed possibly. It was not a big topic 10-15 years ago

No. Vitamin D plays a big part. It's because we did not know as much 10-15 years ago.

It's heavily involved in all cellular processes apparently, and recently has been found to play a major role in our first line 'innate' (as opposed to adaptive) immune system response. It also apparently helps modulate over-reactions by the the adaptive immune system which can be fatal for us (i.e. cytokine storms). 

I think it's been deprioritized for study because goray naturally make it more easier in less sunny climes, so are less likely to have a deficiency.  For all we know it might explain a lot of health issues amongst apnay? Interestingly, even in India (with lots of sun) people can still have a vit D deficiency. Some Nordic countries with low levels of sunlight have been fortifying their foods with Vit D for a while now. 

I've had my levels checked a few times over the years, and when I've worked outside in summers my levels were nice and high. I started taking 1000 iu tablets now. Every other day.

it is that much of an issue that during the seventies in UK the government considered adding it to chapatti atta  because our lot were suffering so much from the results of low D levels . But because the peeps ate varying numbers of rotian and sizes of roti the dosages would not be adequate or surplus so they scrapped that plan.

I'm not against veganism, just a literal question. How can a person be vegan when consuming parshad.

that is the only condition that would break a vegan lifestyle but if the cow providing the butter is treated in the khalsa ethics ways and we only take from surplus milk suppply and allow her to keep her calf until weaned , then this would be a much less destructive way of doing parshad .

I'm 99.9% sure that people at the Gurdwara have no idea how cows are tortured in farms. When it comes to making parshad and langar they really should buy the dairy products from places where animals are not tortured. 

Making parshad out of dairy that's been taken from innocent beings that are tortured is not that good tbh.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
