Question:
Someone I knew claimed to have been sickened by a vegetarian diet, that he didn't get the right amino acids or whatever. Was he missing something or was he right on target? Is there any healthy vegetarian diet?
Answer:
.Yes,there is. Anybody can get sick on a vegetarian diet, just as they can on a vegan or meat-based diet. I knew a kid in college who got scurvy from living on pepperoni-and- sausage pizza for months...right here in the U.S. A vegetarian diet is easy -- dairy and eggs replace meat with no problems at all. When you get to vegan, it becomes more difficult, but it is still possible to have a balanced, healthy diet with a bit of knowledge and care. It's good to take vitamin/mineral and extra calcium supplements ( in my case ), just be be careful
