Wow, there are a lot of stereotypical and misleading comments here about vegetarians and the vegetarian diet.
I'm vegetarian and most people don't know it until either we go out for a meal or vegetarianism itself is part of the conversation. And even then the vast majority of the time, it's always someone else who pipes up and announces that I'm vegetarian, and then look to me to say something about it. I've always found meat eaters are more hung up on vegetarianism than the vegetarians themselves.
And as for the vegetarian/vegan diet being unhealthy, I'm not trying to be antagonistic here but that opinion is coming from people here who don't really have a clue and is therefore totally useless. The actual experts are inconclusive about it, why do think we should know better? It seems like there's no real drawbacks or positives to a (healthy) vegetarian diet when compared to a (healthy) meat eating diet. Nothing substantial has been discovered yet anyway, so let's at least wait until it is. Arguing about it now is pointless, we may as well be fighting over whether there's a multiverse or not.
I figured out a vegan diet was unhealthy based on actually trying it and getting noticeably worse health every single time, but the rest I can agree with. Maybe some people really are perfectly healthy on it and Im the exeption. A vegetarian diet may be far from an actually vegan diet if it allows eggs or dairy on a regular basis
Could you.....?
