vegetarians lack in many nutrients. Vitamin B12 seems to be a big one as well as Iron. Vitamin D, protein and calcium as also big ones. hpes this helps. _____ If a vegetarian follows a balanced diet, there should be no problems, though some vegetarians will take vitamin supplements, to be sure they get what they need. Proteins can be tricky, because most vegetable proteins do not have the full range of amino acids that animal proteins do; this is why combining complementary vegetables (beans and rice, peanut butter on whole-grain bread, etc.) is important. Calcium can be obtained by eating the right green vegetables; cows get theirs by grazing. Some vegetarians will consume milk or milk products, since we don't have to kill or deprive an animal to get them. Some will also eat eggs; supermarket eggs are unfertilized, and again no animal was harmed or killed to get them.
