I don't agree with Dave's attitude on this, but he is correct in posting
that many people give a vegetarian diet a try for a year or so and then
give it up. I read something written by a doctor who said that he did not
have any special advice for vegans who weren't getting enough vitamin B12,
because the body has a three year supply, and most people don't stay vegan
that long.
My son tried a vegetarian diet for about a year and then gave it up. On
the other hand, my daughter went vegetarian at 13 and not only stuck it
out for 6 years, but has now gone vegan (she gave up eggs and dairy).
