response: If well-planned and fortified to balance their deficiencies, vegetarian and vegan diets can become nutritionally adequate
history: I'm vegetarian and I feel that being vegetarian has gotten more and more common over my lifetime so far Vegetarianism has its roots in the civilizations of ancient India and Greece I knew about ancient India - that's how my family came into the practice. But I didn't know that ancient Greek people were vegetarian too! I guess they have a good climate for fruits and vegetables and grains to grow. In both instances the diet was closely connected with the idea of nonviolence toward animals Wow, that is interesting. I know many vegetarians nowadays who eat a lot of junk food, but I think the best approach is to eat healthy proteins, grains, and vegetables like the ancient people would have.
knowledge: If well-planned and fortified to balance their deficiencies, vegetarian and vegan diets can become nutritionally adequate and can be appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including during pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence.
