Here is a VERY pro-vegetarian scholarly article that glosses over some of the nutritional concerns of a strictly vegetarian diet if it isn't being managed for nutritional balance.

From your link...

Pretty much exactly what I have been trying to tell you. It is not difficult to get protein from a plant based diet. If it were, the very first sentence in this section would not be true.

Consider the bias of the source as well as your own bias. Take any statement prefaced with a "generally" for what it is, a very general statement. Read avlittle further. You have to include a variety of vegetarian sources to get a balanced amino acid profile. It isnt as simple as just eating vegetarian and relying on that to take care of itself. That's my point. It's not that it can't be done, but it does take more management than an omnivorous diet.

Cut out sugary drinks and sodas. Drink water. Don't eat candy or other garbage. Drink more water. Drink less beer (empty carbs). Drink some more water.

My girl is 100% vegan. I repaepct it. But the notion you cannot live a healthy lifestyle while simultaneously consuming meat is a joke. I am open to Veganism, mostly for morale reasons and the environmental impact animal agriculture causes. However I do believe you can live a healthy lifestyle while also consuming meat. Genetics plays a huge role in long term health anyways. 

So what you're saying is you eat vegan....
