Is a vegan diet healthier than one with meat?

A well-planned vegan diet can be healthy, but a balanced omnivorous diet more reliably covers key nutrients.

A balanced diet including meat more easily supplies complete protein and nutrients like B12, iron, and omega-3s without supplementation, and well-planned versions of either can be healthy.

A balanced diet containing meat provides complete proteins and essential nutrients like vitamin B12 more easily than a vegan diet.
