15 Year Vegan,

Ok, the first error you make has to do with your lack of understanding about B12 in the human intestine. Since intestinal B12 is produced below the ileum (where B12 is absorbed by our body), it is not available for absorption. In other words – its useless to us! Therefore we have to eat foods that contain B12.

Secondly, B12 is stored in the liver, not the muscles.

Finally, chickens are not vegan. Their natural diet includes seeds, plants, insects and worms.

Yes he does and he’ll probably live longer than most of your vegan buddies will. He is 81 years old (as of May 31st, 2011).
The longest lived people are neither vegetarians nor vegans. Look at the Sardinians and Okinawans. These people don’t even know what a vegan is and why should they care. lol.

googled showed me this old thread on the Razzi
Clint isnt the only victim of made up quotes proving famous people to be veggie.
i guess some veggies in the old days did think we needed some role models and if ya can’t find something, you just make it up.
Leonardo da vinci is another non veggie made veggie with false quotes.

It does not help matters when PETA published his photo and quote in their leaflets, without bothering to verify the facts.

actually i think you’ll fine there are many examples of vegan foods having ample amounts of b12, including yeast extract (e.g. marmite or vegemite), though all are fortified it is WAY healthier to stay away from meat and dairy, and i would recommend all who’d like to look into it to read “The Chine Study” by Dr. T. Colin Campbell, proably the most comprehensive study into many areas of the link between diet and disease, that shows that meat and dairy has significant links to many kinds of cancers….

15 year vegan:

Chickens are not vegans. Have you ever raised chickens ? They’d rather eat worms than grain.

Caspard:

Us vegans acually know MORE, not less: The reason meat has B12 is because animals intestines make it. I have intestines.

Put another way: All meat(muscle) contains B12. Therefore……my meat(muscle) contains B12. PS. Cow and chickens are vegans.
