Someone said that all the vegetarians that they know have health problems.
(presumably related to not eating meat, although a doctor suggesting that
they eat meat proves nothing, what most doctors know about (or don't know)
nutrition is depressing)  If someone is a TOTAL vegetarian, no milk, cheese,
then it is challenging to eat a correct diet, but milk and/or eggs makes
a substantial improvement, and simple attention to balancing proteins is
all that is required.  Many people who are VERY hard/demanding on their
bodies are vegetarians: many marathoners, and the (I believe) current
record holder in the Ironman competitions, as well as a fair number of
other track & field atheletes.
