Why do people blame being a veg(etari)an for getting sick?

Question

Well I thought this one girl was a vegetarian, but it turns out she ate chicken too. I asked her why she wouldn't just be all the way vegetarian, and she said it was because when she was vegetarian she got really sick, and she claimed that it was because vegetarians don't get enough vitamins and protein and iron and stuff. I didn't say anything because I am a full vegetarian, but yeah right! Not trying to be rude, but that is kind of your own fault if you don't have a good healthy diet and you get sick.

And of course, the same old argument everyone gets when they tell people they are vegan or vegetarian... "OMG you need meat or you'll die!11 just like my moms aunts brothers sons friend!"

No offense to the meat eaters or anything, not all of you are like this I am just wondering why some people are. Why can't these people just simply let us eat what we want to eat?

And before you start, I am not saying that veg*ans never do this to meat eaters, because some do and I'm sorry about that

Answer 1

I DONT KNOW girl

Answer 2

I do not think that you will get sick because you are a vegetarian. But I think that you will/can get sick because you are a vegetarian who is not dedicated enough and who does not focus enough on what they eat, you have to be careful if you are being a vegetarian and to look closely at your diet

Answer 3

well, you have to rmember, everybody's body is different. and maybe partly why she got sick is because she cut off cold turkey.  for example, i have a friend that gets sick if she eats meat and i have another friend that cant survive w/out meat, she gets all weak and stuff.  Everybody's body is diff. and needs certain amount of vitamins and proteins
