    b12 is a sticky one, you can pretty much only get it from fortified foods
    but you can get vitamin a from carrots, sweet potatoes, dried apricots, kale, cantaloupe, butternut squash, spinach, red peppers, papaya, tomatoes

    i've been vegan for 16 years and the only time i have taken supplements was when i was in prison, where they were provided to me
    too expensive otherwise

      Yeah you can get vitamin A from plant foods, usually in beta carotene form. Though I think there are other forms of it as well. But the body must first convert this to retinol before using it. If you are eating enough food, this isn't really a problem for most people, but if you are at risk of starvation or anemic, it is an issue.

      B12 can be obtained though food containing nutritional yeast like Marmite.
