Fortunately people dont need animal protein at all. Plant protein is cheaper and better for the climate. Always has been

We do need vitamin B12 which can only be found (naturally) in the animal kingdom. It can be supplemented though.

Yeast contains B12, that is pretty natural.

Decided to look it up a bit and there is so much conflicting info. One says fermented food like sauerkraut contains lots of B12. Another says it contains none at all.

I know it's produced by some types of bacteria, but then could it also depend on production method? So if that is the case could it be in traditionally home made but not industrially produced sauerkraut?

Most people are b12 deficient and should take a supplement, wheather you eat animals or not. Fortunately it can be synthesized cheaply without animals.
