This is a really weak argument. B12 is an abundant nutrient and it is available
in a number of fortified food products including cereals and soy products (meat
substitutes, and soy milk) which vegans often consume. I doubt that those who
advocate a vegan diet are also recommending that those on the diet bypass these
sources.
