The necessity of B12 supplementation isn't really hidden in vegan spaces. That said, omnivores often lack nutrients too, including B12. It's seems veganism act

  That's the part that drives me nuts. Most omnivores are deficient in fiber. And there's nobody out there saying, "You shouldn't be an omnivore." And fiber is arguably more important than B12 (where serious deficiency is mostly associated with pregnancy and autoimmune disorders). Everybody should be eating a broad diet with a lot of nutrients, including a lot of plants. Vegans have to be more careful about it since they're not getting the broadest array of sources, but I keep seeing this weird trope of "Well, I could eat vegetables, therefore I'm protected against scurvy and constipation even though I never actually eat them." Both vegan and omnivorous diets are healthy if you eat them well. Both are unhealthy if you practice them badly. But seeking out studies for the sole purpose of proving "veganism is bad" seems like a recipe for eating unhealthily.
