Far too many veggies suffer decline after a few decades. No vitamin B12,
insufficient carnitine, not enough iron, too little zinc. It's not a
problem at first but after a decade the depletion can be a different
matter for some whose metabolism isn't 100%. I had to spend time helping a
friend recover herself from years of veggie eating (despite taking a multi
vit/min) -- not that she would consider meat but we slowly replenished
what had become depleted when she stayed with me.
Another veggie friend of mine has been veggie since childhood and shows no
problems with things like B12 inadequacy. She must be recycling it very
efficiently and perhaps it's creeping into her diet somewhere unknown. In
India it's been observed that faeces from crop fertilisation unexpectedly
provides useful amounts of B12 for vegetarians. Also my friend must be
manufacturing carnitine very effectively. I don't preach about her choice
but I'll help if needed.
This guy tried being a vegan but had to relent. As I recall he was telling
me by email that, for some reason, he found lamb particularly good
nutritionally. Go figure.
