It was mentioned previously, B12 is a bacteria. Modern lifestyles and agriculture leads to less exposure to bacteria, thus less B12. B12 isnt produced in animals or plants, its solely synthesized via bacteria. Its common practice in the meat industry to inject cattle with B12 supplements, which are vegan, one way or another you are taking a supplement. Modern agriculture has also lead to decreased nutrient quality of food, thus a reliance on supplements to some degree is needed. Visit a nutritionist and get your blood checked, I can almost guarantee they recommend supplementation.

Cobalamin is present in many foods. Liver, eggs and fish. If you choose organic foods, so not exposed to modern technique, the support of B12 is assured. Really, I had not B12 deficiency in the past due to my non-vegan diet. I do not want to have the addiction to B12 pills due to vegan diet. This practice is not natural. Try to choose certified organic foods instead, supporting the old agriculture and farming practices.
Vitamin B12 is not addicitive, its water a soluble vitamin, it doesn't matter whether its supplemented or ingested through food, all B12 is made through bacteria, whether that is supplemented or through food. Vegans can get adequate B12 intake, end of story.
