However, It is not like a typical meat-eater diet in western society doesn't have it's shortcomings. Many meat-eaters lack different minerals and vitamines, despite them eating meat. In Denmark for example, we have added iodine to our salt, because most of the general population doesn't get enough iodine through their food intake.
My point is: You actually do need to think about whether you get your vitamines and minerals regardless whether you're a vegetarian or an omnivore.

That is the word I was waiting for. By physical definition, the human animal is an
omnivore. That means a little of this and a little of that as a sourcefood. Not,
only this and not
only that.
This animal's structure needs some proteins, 23, one of which can not be obtained from vegetal matter. The body tells you what is good, but then again that is temporary because tomorrow it will ask you for something else totally different. Fasting is good too.
The business of thinking what a body should need is erronious in that we know nothing, science knows nothing but some basics.
Nothing white, nothing black, just a bit of everything
in moderation.
