I was looking into algea/spirulina for B12, but found some sources indicating it is not a bioavailable form of B12, and also prevents real B12 from being absorbed.

As soon as someone says X tastes like Y I get a little suspicious. Can't we just come up with a new notion of X unto itself so we all don't have to pretend that X tastes like Y?
How do you describe an unfamiliar taste to someone without comparisons?

Also, can you imagine the positive impact on health and well-being? Also, my impression is that at least in the U.S. there isn't a shortage of farmable land. It's just that most of it is used to grow corn and soybeans, and most of the corn is being used to feed cattle and make ethanol. I think a lot more work needs to be done to show how tasty plant-based foods can be. Anecdote: growing up, I hated brussel sprouts b/…
In addition to changing to roasting, and depending on how old you are, brussels sprouts may have literally been different when you were a kid [0]. Dutch biologists worked to alter the sprouts we eat and have changed the bitterness. That's why they've had such a renaissance. I never had them as a kid, but I distinctly remember my brother making them at Thanksgiving around 2010 and we were shocked at how much we enjoye…

Yep. People need meat.
I will not eat the bugs and I will not eat the algae.

B12 absorption is finicky, and meats contain rather small amounts. Injections and sublinguals are actually better at increasing levels than meat.

It's a matter of taste. I find much grass-fed beef to be dry and tough. Speaking as someone who has actually raised grass-fed beef.
What breeds did you have?

Do you eat lobster or crab? Then I've got some bad news for you about eating bugs...
What's the bad news?

So no, people don’t need meat. Not for B12, or for proteins or for iron or for anything else.
Do people want to eat meat? That’s a different story.
