I take a B12 supplement once a week and Vitamin D daily. Many people are low in Vitamin D, even omnivores and people who spend a lot of time outdoors. Best to have a blood test to find out.

Another Canucklehead, always nice to meet another.
As far as inflammatory comments, it is true that I commented:
"I have known a few vegans and I have to agree, they reminded me of reformed smokers, they were the ones telling me that eating meat was wrong. None of them could have lifted a 20 pound bag of soya beans without help though. "
If you notice the first thing I said was that "I knew a few Vegans..." this was my honest opinion of Vegans I KNOW, not a generalization of all Vegans as you suggest. I was genuinely interested in knowing the answer to the question "Do Vegans require supplements to get a balance diet?" I was hoping a vegan would answer that for me, thanks for doing that.
Cheers
