One major concern for vegans is that they don't get B-12 because it comes mostly from meat and dairy. This isn't entirely true, but it isn't entirely true that meat and dairy consumers get enough B-12 either. More than 50% of Americans are B-12 deficient and vegans only make up 2% of the population.
