I was thinking about this myself. I think it's a breakfast staple even more than in other countries, and in larger quantities. And for many people it might be the most affordable source of animal protein? Until recently, that is.
Eggs aren't important because they're eaten directly, as much as they are as an ingredient. They are used in all kinds of doughs (think breads, crusts, pastries, buns, etc...). They're also half of mayonnaise, which again, is used in a lot of things
Vegan baking has come very far. If anyone is interested don't try to veganize your favorite recipe, it's easier to find new vegan recipes.
Also stay away from recipes that use healthier ingredients if you want tasty results, your recipe before wasn't healthy either 😜

We do need vitamin B12 which can only be found (naturally) in the animal kingdom. It can be supplemented though.
Yeast contains B12, that is pretty natural.

Decided to look it up a bit and there is so much conflicting info. One says fermented food like sauerkraut contains lots of B12. Another says it contains none at all.
I know it's produced by some types of bacteria, but then could it also depend on production method? So if that is the case could it be in traditionally home made but not industrially produced sauerkraut?
Most people are b12 deficient and should take a supplement, wheather you eat animals or not. Fortunately it can be synthesized cheaply without animals.
