I recently read an article written by doctors which stated: "It is very possible that, in optimal conditions, a vegan diet (total plant-based diet) is best; in less-than-optimal conditions we believe a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet is the best one for us to recommend. It should be understood that only because of the fortification of dairy alternatives with vitamin B12, vitamin D, and calcium is a total plant-based diet adequate. Should such fortification not be available, we would be derelict in our duty to recommend such total plant-based diet."
If God's original diet was totally plant-based and we should adhere to God's diet for optimal health - is it possible to obtain adequate amounts of the above mentioned vitamins and minerals without fortification?
In case, what are the food sources?

I believe God's original diet was perfect. I know plants don't have the nutrients they did even 60 years ago because of depleted soils but I do believe the plant based diet is still the best. Calcium comes from dark leafy greens, legumes and moderate amounts in whole grains. Vitamin D comes from being in the sunshine. Vitamin B12 is added to nutritional yeast. Some people on a vegetarian or non vegetarian diet are deficient in the above mentioned areas. It is important to get a variety of foods.
