> Fruits and Vegetables have extremely high densities of all your minerals and vitamins.

I don't think they have B12, you need to get that from animal sources or a pill.

There are mushrooms which contain B12. Or you could go with soymilk, almond milk, etc. Those typically are fortified with B12.

People used to get B12 from the bacteria in the soil and the plants we eat. Not, anymore.

So, yes, you could eat some meat. B12 is present in very high concentrations in a lot of sea food.

Last I checked none of those things are fruits or vegetables. Suggesting they were enough to get all necessary vitamins and minerals was simply inaccurate and bad health advice.

When I Google "mushroom B12" it seems to suggest mushrooms have almost none.

People used to get B12 by eating meat (which I use generally to also include seafood).
