Pique the Geek 20100516: The Things that we Eat. Vegetarianism

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.
