Is it true that humans cannot meet all of their nutritional requirements without eating meat?
Unclear. The retrieved items only partially bear on the claim: one nutrition commentary argues a mixed diet is needed to fully meet requirements, and several items note that specific nutrients (vitamin B6, vitamin D, essential elements) come from plant or varied foods. None directly settles whether humans can meet all nutritional requirements without any meat.
