B12 can only be found in meat? Re: Re: vegetarianism

[Guest guest]

Someone PM'd me and ask that i post the B12 content of fish vs fowl.

100 grams of chicken =0.3 mcgs

100 grams of fish (cod)=1.0 mcgs

Yes you gave 'reasons' for eating fowl very occasionally but none of

eating it very occasionally provide enough of it?
