Like the polar opposite of those freaks who try to make their baby vegan. Folks, we need B12 but we also need a lot of other things too

it's the polar opposite in that giving your baby vegan food (breastmilk included of course) is very good while giving your baby carnivore food is very bad

sure, just wanted to pre-empt any "but babies need milk tho" comments

What non-vegan food do you think is essential for babies other than B12 and maybe iron (both of which can easily be supplemented)?

My two year old's been vegan his whole life, plenty of B12 supplements and enrichment in food.

Animal agriculture often requires B12 supplementation of animals (or cobalt supplementation for sheep and cows) anyway

I admittedly don't know a lot about infant's nutritional needs, but I can't imagine a vegan diet being nearly as bad as something this one-dimensional

There is actually zero difference between good and bad things.
