No. They need to supplement B12 and some other nutrients that are not found in plants.

  This is just not true. You're probably thinking of vegans who aren't allowed to have cheese, milk, and eggs. Vegetarians can easily get B12 in their diets.

    Vegetarians get B12 from the animal products created from animals which supplemented B12. Everyone is supplementing B12 regardless of their diet, it's just a matter of how many steps removed from the supplement that people seem to think makes a difference (it doesn't).

      I'm sorry, here are some articles that supports me when I say that plant-based diet are not good for your health: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1331544/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1331544/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/26493452/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/26493452/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0022347605812399 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00223... https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/90/4/943/4597049 https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/90/4/943/4597049 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/15072869/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/15072869/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/30061399/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/30061399/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3466124/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3466124/ I'm not a huge fan of nutrition, so that's why I take too long post these, anyway don't believe me or in any article, test on yourself and tell me. Plant-based diet might be good for environment, but for sure are not good for your health.

  You can still follow a plant based diet and use supplements derived from non-animal sources.

  They're not found in meat either. B12 comes from bacteria out of dirt.

    In fact industrial animal agriculture frequently has to supplement b12 to animals as they are commonly deficient.
