    Plain Cheerios each morning and marmite on toast (with peanut butter or in a sandwich with other things) make sure I get enough B12 without having to resort to supplements. (I’m not full vegan anymore either, just very heavily lean that direction.)

    (Gross fact: gorillas and many other non-ruminant herbivores get their B12 via coprophagia.)

      It’s such a farcical argument. Along with being able to get it through a variety of foods, as you’ve mentioned, the supplements themselves are extremely affordable and quite easily obtainable. I supplement with the Live Conscious B12 drops once a week and at my last 6month blood test (get them regularly to ensure no vitamin deficiencies and other issues) the doc actually recommended I stop the drops since my levels were in the too high category 😆. And that’s from once a week supplementation, along with just eating a diverse and nutrient rich diet as you mentioned.
