Not entirely true.  You can get B-12 from fermented soybean products such
as tempeh and miso.  In fact tempeh is high in B-12.  To find out more about
these foods read the books by William Shurtleff (sp?) called "The Book of
Tempeh" and "The Book of Miso".  Seaweed also contains B-12 and is quite
delicious if you can get used to it.

For those of you who do eat dairy foods and eggs, these are also sources 
of B-12.
