I was questioning your claim about iron and the other B vitamins.

B12 is the only one that's impossible to source naturally except from animal products. Iron and other Bvits are harder to source from non-animal products. Particularly iron, as in greens particulalry it exists in a form that we haven't evolved the mechanisms to absorb yet.

Sure, I would need to consume a much larger quantity of cruciferous vegetables to get the same iron as a small cube of red meat, but likewise, my body doesn't really require the iron that a 12oz steak would provide.
I'm not some anaemic, menstruating female.
Nor does the B12 worry me, I'm pretty sure I do not have pernicious anaemia either.
