Which most omnivore women do not know either. People really have the upside down idea that the way Americans normally eat is "safe" and going veg is a risk. People are suffering right now.
Cron, as a shortlived ex-vegan myself and now a near vegetarian. I just wanted to point out that, based on my personal experience and conversation with many former vegetarians/vegan ( Most of them suffered Anemia ), there is definitely a risk of nutrients deficiency without a well planned whole food diet and enriched food. I wanted to think that vegetarian/vegan of all forms are absolutely healthy as long as you don't include animal protein/fat . But how wrong was i ( the refined food - fruit juice with sugar, refined rice , trans fat, deep fried food , refined noodle with little nutrients are much worse ...).

Of course we both know that the Standard American artery clogging diet is very unhealthy.
