How can veganism be natural if meat/dairy is the only source of B12?

Question by imbringingnerdyback on "Veganism":

I constantly ponder the idea of vegetarianism/veganism. I recently read about a guy who is an incredibly fit athlete who dons a vegan diet. One would imagine a healthy, natural diet could be attained through food without the need for supplements. Is it that veganism isn't natural or is it that vitamin B12 isn't that important? Or option C. I don't know what that is yet. Input appreciated. Thanks.

Synthetic additives to various vegan foods Check http://www.vegsoc.org/info/vegan-nutrition.html Vitamin B12 is very important - lack leads to pernicious anaemia which I have. I need B12 injection every 3 months
