But I really must make a point with the DHA: For some of us, getting enough DHA is a matter of mental stability. If I do not take my DHA supplements, which are fish-based, I cannot cope with daily life. Were it not for these supplements, I would be on pharmaceutical antidepressants, which make me feel like a zombie.

I have looked into vegetable sources of DHA, and yes, they exist. BUT they are simply not strong enough. I need a minimum of 3 GRAMS of DHA daily. The most I will get from vegetarian sources in reasonable daily doses is maybe half a gram. I’d need to consume an entire bottle of blue-green algae to get the same amount of DHA in three capsules of my fish-based DHA. This is just not feasible.

Were it not for this (er, and the occasional grass-fed, organic, pastured, free-range egg), I’d be vegan. But my mental health is far more important to me than some sort of dietary ideal.

Just wanted to point out that, for some of us, DHA is NOT nonsense.

I would opt for some sort of brown rice option though, have you tried cooking that?

And you don’t use vegan mayo in it? I always thought the mayo was the best part of sushi!

Also, I really think I should try using rice vinegar in my rice: me thinks it will add that extra ‘oomph’. That way, too, I won’t have to end up eating a pot of wasabi with my sushi. >_>

Cheers!
