Rice wouldn't have provided the Vit A and B12. The baby died from
malnourishment because her mother was malnourished due to her choice to eat an
unnatural, nutritionally incomplete diet based on new-age hippy ideology. If
you're going to eat such a diet, you *HAVE* to take supplements to make up for
the nutrients you're not getting in your food. There may be some bioactive B12
in certain marine algae, but terrestrial plant matter won't contain B12 unless
it is sufficiently contaminated with fecal matter or fortified.
