Does this bug anyone else? An ex-flatmate ate frosted sugared cereal for breakfast, white bread sandwiches for lunch and ready meals for dinner most days, decided to veg but was worried about getting healthy nutrition. Say WHAT? People just assume if they are eating meat they are eating a balanced diet, when a lot of the time they are eating WAY too much fat, cholesterol and sugar and not enough wholegrains and fruits and veggies.
But suddenly they go veg and they are paranoid about protein, B12, iron etc etc etc, when they never gave jack about these nutrients when they were eating meat and were probably deficient in something. Don't get me wrong I'm happy people want to transition to a healthier diet (and before the meat trolls start I mean they are more concerned with getting nutrients not claiming vegetarianism is healthier) but it just seems to become a concern after they decide to go veg.
What's up with that?
