People follow vegetarian diets for various reasons including culture, belief, economics or health. Most vegetarians eat dairy products and eggs, and as a group, these "lacto-ovo-vegetarians" enjoy excellent health. You can get enough protein from a vegetarian diet as long as you consume a variety of foods. Meat, fish, and poultry are major contributors of iron, zinc, and B vitamins in most American diets, so vegetarians need to pay special attention to getting these nutrients from other sources. Vegans eat only food of plant origin. Because animal products are the only food sources of vitamin B12, vegans must supplement their diets with a source of this vitamin. In addition, vegan diets, particularly those of children, require care to ensure there is enough vitamin D and calcium, which most Americans get from dairy products. Here are some non-animal foods that provide needed nutrients.
