Well I have nothing against eating meat so there's no disagreement about that.

White fish, eggs, milk cheese are other sources of B12

Tempeh, miso, sea vegetables, and other plant foods are sometimes reported to contain vitamin B12. These products, however, are not reliable sources of the vitamin. The standard method for measuring vitamin B12 in foods measures both active and inactive forms of vitamin B12. The inactive form (also called analogues) actually interferes with normal vitamin B12 absorption and metabolism . When only active vitamin B12 is measured, plant foods including fermented soyfoods and sea vegetables do not contain significant amounts of active vitamin B12 .

Very small amounts of vitamin B12 have been found in plants grown in soil treated with manure . It is not clear whether this vitamin B12 is the active form or the inactive analogue. In any case, the amounts are so small that more than 23 cups of organically grown spinach would have to be eaten every day in order to meet the adult RDA for vitamin B12 .

Meat. That is the best source. Vegatarians are advised to take supplements because there really are no GOOD vegatarian sources. I know amaranth has some, please don't jump on the carnivores case. I'm just trying to help.
