You do realize that meat-eaters usually aren’t subsisting solely off of meat, right? They don’t need to rely on vitamin supplementation, that’s the whole point of a balanced diet. If they eat all the stuff that’s important on a regular enough basis, they’ll be fine even if you take the supplements away from farm animals.
Cause they don’t graze on lush natural meadows anymore, they’re fed mostly corn.
This is too localized of a point, in Canada for example the diets of farm animals are regulated to consist of much more than just corn. Admittedly I’m not sure about other countries, though I’m sure there are others similar in that regard.
Granted, I should have limited my statement to B12.
One of the main arguments against veganism is that it isn’t “natural” cause you need B12 supplements and there’s no way around that.
But farm animals usually also get B12 supplements because the bacteria that actually produces it (and then puts it in the grass) only lives in natural soil.
So only cattle who can actually graze will get it. If they are fed from industrially made feed, it needs to be supplemented.
