Luckily most plants contain a variety of those essential amino acids, with some plants containing a complete protein profile. Making it pretty hard not to get the right balance of amino acids on a varied whole foods plant based diet [1].
Vegans supplement B12 and omega-3, not amino acids. Those supplements are also fed to the animals that are supposedly providing the nutrients “naturally” [2, 3]. So it’s more efficient to just get them directly without the suffering middle man.
It’s not arbitrary to exclude plants from moral worth. They don’t have the neural substrate to deploy conciousness, animals do.
…are you insinuating that we, humans, don’t need the group of nutrients called ESSENTIAL amino acids? Also, where do you reckon; where does omega-3 and b12 comes from? Oily fish for the first, bacteria for the second
Large majority of animals don’t have anything that could be considered consciousness and you dismissing the incredibly complex inter-plant communication for it not involving neurons only reveals your limited information hypocrite
Which essential amino acids can’t be obtained from plants?
Soybeans, quinoa, and buckwheat are complete protein sources. More importantly, pretty much any grain (wheat, oats, barley, rice) plus any legume (peas, green beans, beans, lentils, chickpeas, peanuts) are a complete source of amino acids.
Omega-3 accumulates in fatty fish, who obtain it by eating krill and other small animals, who obtain it by eating algae. Algae oil is available as a supplement. Also, Omega-3 is in tree nuts like walnuts, as well as flax and chia.
Oh, and B12 supplements come from yeast and mushrooms, not bacteria.
If you’re gonna go hard at vegans you should at least get your facts straight.

2 days ban for aggressivity.
For anyone actually interested, vegan omega-3 comes from algae oil - fish are not the only source.
