Not what I learned when I researched becoming a vegetarian. Do you have a source? The only nutrient I know of that is difficult to find in vegetable sources is vitamin B12.

Being omnivores from a biological point of view means that we have options in what we can eat, but doesn't necessarily mean we have to eat everything that we are able to eat. I know very few people who eat grubs, for example. I agree that variety in diet is important, as is moderation. (Fortunately, chocolate is vegetarian! )

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

As I understand it calorie for calorie, there are actually a few vegetables with a similar high iron content as meat. But the body absorbs less from vegetables than from meat.

Once again: As long as you have a somewhat varied vegetarian diet, I don't think it's much of a problem.

At least that is what the vegans say :

Quote:
Vegans have a high dietary iron intake and although iron from plant sources is less well absorbed than that from meat, high levels of vitamin C in the diet enhances iron absorption. Studies show that the iron status of vegans is usually normal, and iron deficiency is no more common than in the general population.

I'm a vegetarian. I don't do anything to watch my iron, and last time it was checked, my doctor was worried that my iron count was too high.

No, it isn't incorrect at all. Meat is not needed for good health by anyone.
