I am glad I don't have it, since as vegan they will say it is because of that as you also mentioned. Most people don't know that pigs, chickens etc. get B12 supplements as well, so meat eaters eat supplements as well (although indirectly). As a microbiologist I can say that B12 producing microorganisms are more difficult to find due things as hygeine, antibiotics, modern agriculture (monoculture, use o pesticides etc.).

I was unaware of this deficiency. I take vitamins because I forget to eat sometimes. I know, I know, I hear "how can you forget to eat?" And "I wish I was that way", but it is easy when you are on certain medications and no you don't.  I will randomly feel nauseated and feel like I'm about to faint and I have to rush (without running) to the sugar products and cram some in real quick while I make a proper meal. It doesn't happen often now that I'm aware what to watch out for and have a meal schedule, but it still happens.
