I'm not sure how you got "replacing normal nutrition with pills" with "this article isn't news and its point is misleading" but ok.. My critique was about how they claim one thing (You need 50% of your protein to come from meat) but don't show it and instead show that if you don't take supplements you need to do that which is a _completely different claim_. The silly bit isn't that supplements are needed for a balanced plant-based diet it's that this piece is silly and the point it _actually_ makes isn't news. People supplement their diets all the time - babies get Vitamin D3 drops and iron drops. Mothers take folic acid during pregnancy. Would they die otherwise? Usually not, but supplementing your diet according to medical advice to avoid things like neurological defects is generally a good idea.
