Your friend was likely suffering from Anemia, a disease caused by iron defficiency. Being a vegetarian means you must still eat the right foods, not just pick and choose any non-meat product you stumble upon. Soy, lentils, tofu, chikpeas, lima beans, swiss chard and many more are examples of delicious foods that supply you with more than enough iron.

Actually, she did not suffer from anemia. Anemia is when you have few red blood cells, which causes less hemoglobin in the blood and less oxygen. she was just an average vegetarian who looked awful. You can get iron from dark green vegetables which she ate alot from the salads.

No, my great grandma is still alive and she's really old and she is a meat eater . That's just statistics no research has been shown for that.

You are corect: your body needs fats, but your body doesn't need animal fats.Bioavailable is a slippery term that reminds me of words used in ads for moisturiser: "rejuvicell technology" and "retroactive." All of those minerals can easily be obtained through the right vegetables.Meat is not important. I am healthy and don't eat it. The supposed benefits of meat are overshadowed with the harmful effects it has on your body. [/B]

No offense, but the vegetarians I saw were pale, skinny, face all sunken in, zombish, they looked scary and the people who eat meat look healthy. I think I read your post and you described yourself as that way am I right Sydney? Yeah meat can be a benefit. it's in the food pyramid right? You can't get that much fat from meat. Why do these people look like ghost then?
Eating meat is good, unless you don't eat too much of it then it can be harmful. Like the iron pill example I gave you.
I'm not forcing you to not eat meat Sydney. I'm just telling you why I prefer not to be a vegetarian. Also, do you see lion vegetarians? No because they don't care. They just wanna eat us.
