        Irrelevant; B-12 produced by soil cyanobacteria bacteria was 
absorbed
INTO the plants UNTIL toxic fertilizers killed off the soil bacteria
which synthesized the B-12.  Insufficient B-12 in plant foods is NOW
caused by agricultural chemistry.

Irrelevant, you want to steer discussion don't you.

The folk in question were free of vitamin b12 problems in their country
because they consumed larger amounts of animal parts in their basic food
supply.

As it happens, the traditional fertilizers of their country are human aand
animal waste.

The point was that there is no strict vegan diet in any country.  Evenif
minor, all eat animal parts and in the example given they were a source of
a vital vitamin.
