There are no nutrients that are exclusively available via meat/dairy. The only thing you might miss out on is B12, but that’s usually supplemented in a lot of the vegan substitutes/junk food alternatives already. Anything else you’ll get pretty easily by simply eating your regular veggies, beans, legumes etc.
If you truly care about nutrients, then get your blood tested and have them check what you are actually lacking, and then adjust or supplement your diet accordingly. Chances are that you are already low on something even when eating animal products.
Thanks for the advice, iirc I got my blood tested when I was doing some allergy tests so I’ll look at those and see what my levels were. I do know that I’m low on vitamin d cause I take a supplement for that
fuck thank you you just reminded me i needed to buy that one brand of nutritional yeast that is garlicky to try it on my popcorn. i cannot remember its name
There are no nutrients that are exclusively available via meat/dairy.
i.e. claimed that there are some nutrients that can only be sourced via meat or dairy.
An obligate carnivore must eat meat to live, like, say, if the only source of needed nutrients is meat?
Where did I lose you on this? Is it the “or dairy” escape hatch?
FFS, you could have just given an example of a nutrient you mistakenly think is only available via meat or dairy. Then I could have judged your post on its merits instead of this displeasure of a thread.

Exactly. Can get everything but b12 from plants. Can’t get fiber without plants though.
Tempeh and nutritional yeast are a good start there, but you may need supplements, yes.

Could possibly buy or make garlic infused salt, then mix the two.
that’s not true
Did you continue reading what was after that quote? That part that says no nutrients except for B12? You quoted it out of context.
more than b12
Are you sure about that? Got any examples of nutrients that make humans obligate carnivores?
I didn’t say that. you’ve constructed a straw man.
reductio ad absurdum, actually.
You claimed that this statement was not true:
i.e. claimed that there are some nutrients that can only be sourced via meat or dairy.
