> I'm not arguing that vegetarian and vegan diets are quintessentially malnutritious. I'm arguing that many people are doing it wrong. You seem to be implying that vegetarian diets are more problematic that meat based diets. You haven't shown data to back this up as far as I can tell. Sure, many vegetarians are doing it wrong, and many meat eaters are doing it wrong. For your implication to stand, you need to show that vegetarians are doing it wrong at a higher rate than meat eaters.
