question about the carnist food part of "Topics that must be CW'd" in the CoC (hexbear.net)

i've been reading thru hexbear's code of conduct to make sure i don't break any rules and one part of it confused me a bit. in the "topics that must be CW'd" section, one of the bullet points says the following:

"Violence towards animals or humans such as corpses and carnist products..."

in what context would you CW something with carnist products in them? is mentioning non vegan food by itself fine? does it apply to images or to text too? in what case would a comment/ post be removed to enforce this rule? i am not vegan (will go vegan eventually, i'm still adjusting to eating less meat) so i'm not sure how to follow the rule. any help is appreciated.

If it was you being really really really tired it likely was B12 insufficiency. I had that and taking some remedied the situation.

Also what about the non-dietary aspects of veganism?

following what i can. ditched all the non dietary products that aren't vegan (toiletries + buying new clothes, although i'm still unsure about buying non vegan second hand items). on a vegan diet my brain felt like it stopped working entirely. insane brain fog and hallucinations, had to double my meds to keep myself together. skin looked like i had jaundice and hair fell out in clumps. went to get my bloodwork done and everything seemed fine (even B12), but i decided to go back to carnism (still mostly plant based) and my health returned to normal. yes, i supplemented what was needed, but i guess it didn't work. right now i'm working with my psychiatrist and nutritionist to slowly transition to at least being vegetarian, but i'm trying to be as careful as possible so to not fuck my body up again.

you might look into freeganism, there's more to it but they'll dumpster-dive animal products. seems more sensible to me in general.
