minus-squareMilitantVegan@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up28arrow-down27·1 年前The idea that a pure plant-based diet can’t provide all the protein we need has been thoroughly debunked for a long time. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DMwf_9wqWY0&pp=ygUdc3RhbmZvcmQgc2NpZW50aXN0IG9uIHByb3RlaW4%3D The nutrient you’re thinking of is b12. Vegans need to supplement b12 (for now, discoveries are still being made on that front).

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
