VEGETARIANISM
- Variety of vegetarian styles
- Vegans - eat only plant foods
- Lacto vegetarians - modify to include dairy products and plant foods
- Ovo-lacto-vegetarians - eat dairy products and eggs, as well as plant foods
VEGETARIANISM
- Most people who call themselves vegetarians consume at least some dairy products.
VEGETARIANISM
- A vegan diet requires some creative planning to use grains, legumes and nuts & seeds to yield high-quality protein, especially with children.
VEGETARIANISM
- A concern for some is getting enough iron.
- Vegans can consume whole grains, dried fruits and nuts, and legumes.
- The iron found in these foods is not absorbed as well as that found in animal foods, but a good source of Vitamin C taken with these foods can slightly enhance the absorption.
