Default Is Veganism Really the Optimal Choice?

I had considered converting to a vegetarian/vegan diet until I stumpled upon a couple of websites that stated how many of the people on these types of diets, eating no animal prducts, tend to have deficiencies. I remember Vitamin B 12 and Vitmain D to be two notables. And the question is if a diet that doesn't include essential vitamins and minerals so that we're forced to take a supplement doesn't seem like it's really an optimal diet....so I don't know if it is indeed the optimal diet if it doesn't really meet all the needs necessary for living. How can you have a diet that doesn't supply everything your body needs?? Just food for thought.
