Anyone who considers themselves to be a vegetarian, please take a moment to look at this...?

Question

Just copy and paste, then add your answers. thanks!

7. Do you take any supplements to replace the lost iron in your diet?

-I take iron supplements, but I had to take those before I went vegan anyway.  My iron has actually improved since going vegan.  I think the reason for this is because animal products can make it hard for iron to absorb into your bone marrow.  However, fruits make it easier for iron to absorb.

6. Is there any food you miss since becoming a vegetarian? Actually, no. I've been a vegetarian most of my life, since I was five. Now, I'm 16 and I can't remember what anything tastes like. So if you miss something, you'll eventually forget what it tastes like!

7. Do you take any supplements to replace the lost iron in your diet? No, though I should. Watch your iron counts, especially if you don't eat a lot of grains. I have low iron, which is some times a hassle.

Answer 10

I eat a little dairy!  No fish!  The only Gelatine I eat is made from Locust Bean gum! favourite Vegetable: toss up between broccoli and spinach! Favourite Seasoning: habenaro! Favourite fruit it's a toss up between banana and papaya!   No theres nothing I miss!  No need to take any supplements  I eat a varied enough diet so I get all nutrients and protein I need!  There is more iron in green veggies than any supplements!  Supplements are just a money scam to get one to buy what they really don't need!  Meat eaters need supplements much more than any vegetarians because meat is dead protein  and loaded with cholesteral fats very unhealthy substance! as for nuts why not?  I eat alot of peanut butter and that is made with nuts! I make sure the peanut butter is free of animal fats! Undecided about hi-carbs!
