Most vegan diets are frowned upon because of the Vitamin B12 controversy. From all the angles of anti-veganism, this is probably the most common concern.
Vitamin B12, abundant in high quality animal products, is a nutrient which many medical doctors claim to be difficult for vegetarians to obtain.

Some experts advocate that eating organic produces naturally gives us sufficient B12 - because there are minuscule bio-organisms dwelling on the stem tips/stalks of the produce. Conventional produces do not serve this purpose since the chemical pesticides already killed off the micro-organisms. Although many people may balk at the idea of consuming insects, it helps to be aware that humans share 99% of our DNA with Chimpanzee & Bonobos - and these fellows thrive on a natural diet of Greens, Fruit, some nuts/seeds PLUS a small percentage of insects!
What Is B12?
B12 is a nutrient produced only by micro-organisms, and is found in a variety of animal and certain plant sources. People with healthy intestines also produce large amounts of B12 in their colons.
