The intertubes tell me that the only vegan sources of B12 are manufactured, is it possible to eat yeast-things in the right way so as to get B12? or do you actually have to take supplements/eat 'fortified' food?
Of course everyone needs B12, and B12 supplements exist and can probably be taken by just about anyone. And why is this about vegans again? REPORTER FAIL.
(Personally I hate it when people say "you should take suchandsuch supplements" when what I think they ought to say is "you should ensure that you have thismuch of $thing in your diet" for those of us without moral, religious, medical or any-other reason to eat a restricted diet all needed nutrients can be found in, well, food. It might be better to tell people "folic acid is found in spinich and beans and btw if you can't/won't eat those things you can get it in pills".)
