i read that humans receive B12 from cattle that' eats grass with soil on would that be correct
No, not really. You receive it from "dirt". They have to feed the cattle extra food with B12 addition. (Is what I heard, I cite it without proper source)
Edit: sorry, I overread the soil part. So, yes, its partly correct but when you read the part about bacteria and archaea you see what I had in mind (my midn right now:

)
Since my wiki is still open, this is what they say about animal derived and B12
Animals store vitamin B12 in the
liver and
muscles and some pass the vitamin into their
eggs and
milk; meat, liver, eggs and milk are therefore sources of the vitamin for other animals as well as humans.
[7][1][57] For humans, the
bioavailability from eggs is less than 9%, compared to 40% to 60% from fish, fowl and meat.
[58] Insects are a source of B12 for animals (including other insects and humans).
[57][59] Food sources with a high concentration of vitamin B12 include liver and other
organ meats from
lamb,
veal,
beef, and
turkey;
shellfish and
crab meat.
[2][7][60]
This is what I meant with the dirt comment:
Bacteria and archaea
Vitamin B12 is produced in nature by certain
bacteria, and
archaea.
[50][51][52] It is synthesized by some bacteria in the
gut flora in humans and other animals, but it has long been thought that humans cannot absorb this as it is made in the
colon, downstream from the
small intestine, where the absorption of most nutrients occurs.
[53] Ruminants, such as cows and sheep, are foregut fermenters, meaning that plant food undergoes microbial fermentation in the
rumen before entering the true stomach (
abomasum), and thus they are absorbing vitamin B12 produced by bacteria.
[53][54] Other mammalian species (examples:
rabbits,
pikas,
beaver,
guinea pigs) consume high-fibre plants which pass through the intestinal system and undergo bacterial fermentation in the
cecum and
large intestine. The first-passage of feces produced by this
hindgut fermentation, called "
cecotropes", are re-ingested, a practice referred to as cecotrophy or
coprophagy. Re-ingestion allows for absorption of nutrients made available by bacterial digestion, and also of vitamins and other nutrients synthesized by the gut bacteria, including vitamin B12.
[54] Non-ruminant, non-hindgut herbivores may have an enlarged forestomach and/or small intestine to provide a place for bacterial fermentation and B-vitamin product, including B12.
[54] For gut bacteria to produce vitamin B12 the animal must consume sufficient amounts of
cobalt.
[55] Soil that is deficient in cobalt may result in B12 deficiency, and B12 injections or cobalt supplementation may be required for livestock.

Lydia's glamour stories are a fucking joke
![Face with tears of joy :joy: 😂](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f602.png)
She has no idea how to apply products to her face, every time she is showcasing her skin care she only uses products that she has been paid to talk about or that will secure her more work in the future (ESPA,Elizabeth Arden, Cle de Peau, ByTerry), she always has to say she lives in the countryside as if she is the only person on the planet who doesn't live in a city, pretending she spends her Sunday's in the garden with her dAvId AuStIn rOsEs, shows off the herb trug with her dying herbs and then lights the fire but really it's a stove

How Glamour are considering these tips for a self care Sunday I have no idea. What a boring mundane life, it's clearly exhausting pretending to be someone you're not.
And then every few months the odd Olay skit.
How do you walk around and tell people I did this, I did that, I planted the roses etc when she did indeed nothing. Ali did it.
Edit: Addition to my B12 rant I remembered I had a blood test and the doc (neurologist) told me I have too low B-vit (he didn't explain further though, which B vit
![Roll eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
). My erythrocytes (red blood cells) were too big. Only years later in a vegan forum I learnt about B12 deficiency and read up about it. If someone is further interested in this topic:
