It is really possible with no problems to health to eat some kinds of meat even not cooked (this is also an old practice very common in countryside villages), the only requisition is to get the meat fresh. I agree about the non-healthy condition of a 100% meat-based diet anyhow. What about eggs and fish?
I think that a correct diet has to be balanced with the right percentages of the whole nutrients without getting it through supplements. If the totally vegan diet is the best and right way to feed the human specie, why do you need to get pills?
Finally, it is not medically demonstrated that the meat causes cancer, whilst it is well-understood that the pollutants in general increased the cancer in the industrialized cities...

It was mentioned previously, B12 is a bacteria. Modern lifestyles and agriculture leads to less exposure to bacteria, thus less B12. B12 isnt produced in animals or plants, its solely synthesized via bacteria. Its common practice in the meat industry to inject cattle with B12 supplements, which are vegan, one way or another you are taking a supplement. Modern agriculture has also lead to decreased nutrient quality of food, thus a reliance on supplements to some degree is needed. Visit a nutritionist and get your blood checked, I can almost guarantee they recommend supplementation.
Cobalamin is present in many foods. Liver, eggs and fish. If you choose organic foods, so not exposed to modern technique, the support of B12 is assured. Really, I had not B12 deficiency in the past due to my non-vegan diet. I do not want to have the addiction to B12 pills due to vegan diet. This practice is not natural. Try to choose certified organic foods instead, supporting the old agriculture and farming practices.
Vitamin B12 is not addicitive, its water a soluble vitamin, it doesn't matter whether its supplemented or ingested through food, all B12 is made through bacteria, whether that is supplemented or through food. Vegans can get adequate B12 intake, end of story.
