    Arguments that a higher prevalence of B12 Def. 'proves' that humanity are meant to meat eaters, reminds me of republican arguments regarding burning fossil fuels. They are best self-serving rationalizations, that take selective facts out of context.

    For instance, if you like the epistemological argument of B12, you should also explain simians inability to deal with excess cholesterol.

    One should also wonder why B12 Def is not common in so many simian species that are either near or absolute vegans.

    Apologies to whomever still has trouble realizing that humans and simians can be grouped together in regards to nutrition.

    Not a problem. There's a simian occupying the White House, and presumably it eats human food. Clearly, our nutritional needs are similar. I just wish they wouldn't let it out of its cage so often.
