Im not saying we should eat meat all day everyday, we should definitely reduced it or stop that, but not eating any animal products does cause malnutrition (as by above source) and supplementing our everyday life with pills isn't exactly a great way to live.
Im ok with vegetarianism, im more or less myself, but vegan is something that isn't suitable for humans naturally.
Yeah, switching your diet to anything has that risk, obviously. You need to understand what you eat.
And your daily life is already supplemented with pills, the only difference is they're given to the animals you eat. Cattle is given B12 because they don't graze and don't have access to enough cobalt.
