Humans have teeth suitable for both meat and plant foods. So I would say humans are omnivores.

I may be wrong, but a 100% vegan only diet I think requires supplements to be taken for certain things like proteins that humans need in order to live. Of course, those certain proteins are found in meats.

However, I think saying humans are carnovires would also be incorrect, and a 100% meat only diet would be I think equally as unhealthy as a 100% plant only diet.

The idea that a pure plant-based diet can't provide all the protein we need has been thoroughly debunked for a long time.

The nutrient you're thinking of is b12. Vegans need to supplement b12 (for now, discoveries are still being made on that front). But at the same time, in a sense, so does everyone else.

My natural diet includes energy drinks, ensuring I have a nutritionally balanced intake that includes B12 :)

(I say this jokingly, but it is literally true)

Say you’re a (fellow) GFuel nerd without saying you’re a GFuel nerd.
