Now where did that sign go?
- Rummaging sounds.* There it is!
[[FONT=courier new]PLEASE DON'T FEED THE TROLLS]
It was fun while it lasted, but it's obvious that fake Strelok is not going to listen to anyone else's opinion, nor is he going to read other people's sources. I don't want anyone to get a concussion from banging their head against the wall.
How is it a diet though if that's how their raised? If that's a case, then you're on a diet of meat. Y
es, all kids should have the choice between each, and there are parents who don't give their kids that choice, but the kids are still going to get it anyway. However, I had the choice, Gear X had the choice. Leon chose to be vegetarian. No one here was forced to be a vegetarian. My kids will have the choice.

As for the whole nutritional deficit argument, this is the last thing I'll say. So many omnivores get all the nutrients they need living off of fast foods and processed yumness, right? Wrong. Especially here in America where our obesity is rising through the roof. Making sure you get the proper nutrients is important no matter what you eat. Not only vegetarians have to do it. Is it easier to get all your nutrients through complete meals as an omnivore. Of course. But is it difficult to do so as a vegetarian? No. I eat a couple o handfuls of peanuts throughout the day, make a chocolate whey protein shake with some peanut butter and banana after I get done working out, and I am solid as a rock on what I need. It's really not that hard, and if it were that difficult and unhealthy the lifestyle would not have persisted and grown throughout time.
Your sources? You already proved that you know almost nothing about nutrition ("eggs are bad").
It is a diet, actually. The "diet of meat" is actually eating a balanced meal without avoiding a healthy and very important food. (learn the difference between "they are" and "their")
And yes, they were forced to be, even if they don't admit it.
I actually explained that the average diet is very unhealthy.
And it's not as easy to eat a balanced, healthy, vegetarian diet as you say. I posted some links, but you ignored them. Vitamin B12 is just one example. And learn about the history of vegetarianism - it wasn't really that popular.

@Nex:
In Strelok's world, Leon's parents still forced him to not like meat and to be a vegetarian.
It's called the real world. And stop emberassing yourself.

@cooldud_21:
Interesting. I always thought the Indian vegetarian diet covers all the bases pretty well. A majority of people in India subsist on a vegetarian diet, and have done for four or five millenia. A lot of them eat eggs, but that's about it.
He's not really saying that, is he? He said that his parents are both non-vegetarian, and exposed him to their lifestyle. He didn't like the taste, didn't eat it, and they respected his choice.
The way he said it seemed like he disliked the look, smell or something like that. And like I said, small children can't make sensible choices.
