If you’re vegan and you don’t supplement with B12 or eat food specifically fortified with B12, I don’t think you’re being optimally healthy.

You don’t have to believe me though, just read what the vegan society has to say on this.

If you’re suggesting you can get enough b12 purely through a diet without animal products, supplements or fortified food you’ve misunderstood nutritional science.

What I’m railing against is this; vegans say that omnivores eat meat only for taste pleasure and that’s a straw man argument.

No one just eats meat for taste because there is also a nutritional component. In the same way vegans have to supplement with B12 to be healthy so they recognise that things must be eaten beyond just taste pleasure.
