    The idea that a pure plant-based diet can’t provide all the protein we need has been thoroughly debunked for a long time.

    The nutrient you’re thinking of is b12. Vegans need to supplement b12 (for now, discoveries are still being made on that front). But at the same time, in a sense, so does everyone else.

      You don’t need to supplement b12 if you eat meat unless you have health issues that cause malabsorption.

        Not really, many many more people are B12 insufficient than there are vegans/vegetarians. And much of what B12 you get is because supplements are given…to the animals. See e.g. https://baltimorepostexaminer.com/carnivores-need-vitamin-b12-supplements/2013/10/30

      My natural diet includes energy drinks, ensuring I have a nutritionally balanced intake that includes B12 :)

      (I say this jokingly, but it is literally true)

        Say you’re a (fellow) GFuel nerd without saying you’re a GFuel nerd.

      Where I live, various vegan-targeted foods are fortified with B12, so it might be possible to get enough B12 that way without supplementing.
