So if B12 is only available by supplements one way or another. How did we survive before supplements?
Looking it up ruminants produce it naturally so wouldn’t say we get it cause cows are getting shots.
It doesn't only come from supplements, but it's how most people get it these days. Livestock aren't sticking their faces in wild dirt and flora very much, so most need supplements. Also even with livestock being given supplements there is a surprising amount of B12 deficiency in the omnivore population, arguably more should be supplementing.
We ate a lot more meat. The modern American diet pyramid puts plant matter at the base, while historically meat was at the base. The longest living and healthiest populations today eat a lot of meat, up to 99% of their diet.
What do you mean by this? Do you mean like the people living in the so called Blue Zones?
Gotta love that vegan propaganda! Have you ever seen Ikaria? They don't grow shit there as the island is just one big mountain. Their main food is sea food and dairy. And stop with Okinawa already! It has been debunked by Okinawans themselves - their main food is pork. Okinawa is the biggest consumer of pork in the whole of Japan.
