Vegetarianism is a lifestyle that many people adopt for their food choices. Let me post this disclaimer: I am not personally a vegetarian, but I have no quarrel with those who are. The only concern that I have is that some folks are not versed properly in how to get a complete diet as vegetarians, and this essay is directed toward them.
It is quite possible to have an extremely healthy diet as a vegetarian, but it takes some effort and knowledge. There are a couple of nutritional “holes” in a vegetarian diet that need to be filled by proper choice of plant products, and this is not always evident.
