You do need to eat your broccoli though.
that's incredibly incorrect. there are scaads of anemic teenaged girls and young women that are anemic and veg heads. talk to almost any doc who deals with this age of girl that has become a veg and watch him/her start hair tearing. they need the meat especially around their cycle
