> And vegetarians struggle quite a bit with getting proper dietary nutrition, not just with iron, but also Vitamin B12, Zinc, Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin D, Calcium, Protein and Riboflavin. So it is not quite just "simply" adjust your diet you lazy meat eater. I'm a vegetarian (yes, not a vegan yet) living in India and I'm not deficient in any of these. Also, never have been. e.g. take the case of protein, I eat pulses almost daily (and a variety of) with rice, never felt I have less protein than required. Vit B12 - you can get from fermented foods like Idli etc. Also, from the water soaked overnight in rice (actually rice is soaked in water). Vegetarianism had been practised in India since time immemorial. One can say the food has been perfected here to stay healthy.
