because most iron is in meat and since vegitarians don't eat meat it's hard to obtain it Vegetarians are lucky in this respect because iron overload is serious, and non-heme iron is less stored. There's quite enough iron in many foods such as black treacle, parsley, oatmeal/porridge, etc. As a vegetarian over 40, I try to AVOID iron, except when it occurs naturally in foods. Random blood tests (e.g. school children) show that most vegetarians have higher ferritin than carnivores, and should avoid cooking in iron pans. But this is usually no problem. The 'anaemia' myth is a meat marketing ploy. Anaemia has nothing to do with iron, and last century was treated with arsenic. Zinc is more likely to be a bit low. And some soils are low in selenium, but that affects vegetarians and carnivores alike.

How can you prevent your spouse from turning into a vegetarian?
It's really hard, if not impossible, to change someone else's behaviors (just like I couldn't get my former partner to stop drinking). Just like it's really hard to convert someone's religion. Your spouse may be improving his/her health by becoming a vegetarian (vegetarians live longer) so I would suggest accepting his/her behavior and try eating some vegetarian food! You may improve your own health, too (but I doubt I can prevent you from eating meat...)!

Are cop training courses hard for someone who's not in shape?
Becoming a cop is hard work Becoming a cop is not for the faint-hearted. Becoming a cop is hard work. It is physically demanding. Someone who is out of shape or overweight will need to train hard for several months in order to be successful in the fitness challenge. For others, the most challenging part of becoming a cop will be the classroom work that must be mastered, and for others it will be the special circumstances that are required of the policeman.
