Is a vegetarian diet good for the kidneys?
It can be. One problem with the Standard American Diet (SAD), is that many eat TOO MUCH protein, which can strain your kidneys. If you have specific health issues, it would be good to talk to a health care professional about your specific diet needs. (I am not that professional!) Yes, vegetarian foods are more easily processed by the kidneys. Meat puts a strain on the kidneys.
because there is less land available at a cheaper price so the poorer people can gain more access to food. this all happens due to crops needing less time, care and money spent on them, they also take up less space than say a cow that is eating all the vegetation anyway so provide more profit for the owner whilst still staying cheap for the customer. it occurs more often in developing countries such as Kenya in Africa because they are poorer and can afford only cheaper produce.
Someone who eats both plants and eggs.
Unfertilized eggs are basically waste; it doesn't actually hurt any living creature if you eat them, so people who are vegetarians on ethical grounds might still eat eggs (they probably also consume dairy products, since that doesn't involve killing anything either, but technically the term for that is "lactoovovegetarian").
There are even people who eat eggs, milk, and fish in addition to vegetables ("lactoovopiscovegetarian").
I personally am a lactoovopiscocarnovegetarian: I eat meat, too. Another word for this is "not even slightly vegetarian."
Vegetarian diets are associated with increased consumption of?

How many animals does a person eat per year?
Around 50 Billion animals are slaughtered every year for food. This does not includes the millions more slaughtered for fashion such as fur and leather.
Answer: Some people choose not to eat meat because of the way that they are treated. We are not carnivores. Animals should lead natural lives, free from confinement, suffering from the hands of humans and unnatural death.
Answer: If one decides they want to be a meat eater, they can very well do so whether another human being believes they should or not. Life survives from life, as in, each and every living organism feeds off of another to sustain their life, no matter what it is. Humans have eaten animals for the longest, and many choose not to weed it out of our existence for many reasons. some reasons are people enjoy the taste, some cannot afford to change their whole diet around, and/or for others, going vegetarian/vegan is not healthy for them at all regardless of how it effects another.
It is NOT suitable for vegetarians. Vegetarians will not eat or wear ANYTHING if the animal has to be killed for the product. Gelatine comes from the skin and bones of an animal.

What are good sources of iron for vegetarians and vegans?
Good sources of iron:
Dried apricots, plums, figs, raisins, black treacle, parsley, dark green leafy vegetables, cooked spinach, potatoes, beans, chickpeas, peas, lentils, tofu, quinoa, oatmeal, whole grains, cashews, almonds, sunflower seeds...
Iron enriched soy milk, cereals and soy products.
Vitamin C and vitamin B12 are needed for absorption of iron. If you are a vegetarian who wants to get as much iron as possible, taking supplements of these will really help.
Arugula is a delicious green that is high in iron. It's great with spinach, another great source of iron, to make a delicious salad. With some capers and balsamic vinegar you've got a delicious salad.
Eating iron rich foods with some sort of citrus also helps the iron be absorbed better.
A good vegetarian multi-mineral can also provide peace of mind if you are unsure of getting enough iron.

The body needs iron to function. An iron deficiency can lead to problems like fatigue and anemia. Vegetarians are especially at risk since meat is a good source of large amounts of iron naturally.

Milk is a non - vegan or strict vegetarianfood. But milk is a pro lacto-ovo vegetarian and lacto vegetarian food. Pesco and pollo "vegetarians" only regard themselves as such. Carnivores revile vegetarians, so that term doesn't impress them. And vegetarians regard seafood and poultry or birds as not permissible.
It depends on your idea of 'vegetarian'. For most people, milk is vegetarian, but for strict vegetarians, dairy products are non-veg.
Milk is not a food, milk is a drink. Milk is a vegetarian drink though.
AnswerVegetarianism is limited to avoiding the consume of animals only, which is why some vegetarians agree to have the product (milk, butter, etc.) but not the animal itself.Of course this is more of a choice, so it may vary.However, those who don't consume any animal products are categorized as vegans, and these avoid all animal products, including milk, obviously.

How do you prepare meal for strict vegetarian?
My husband is vegetarian and when cooking for him i alwasys consider the following:
# Pprepare vegetarian food in a separate time. Or if at the same time, make sure to use different spoon to stir each dish. # Most vegetarians wont' eat egg, so make sure to read the labels on food containers before adding them to your vegetarian dish. i.e. most pasta sauces have egg. # Most pasta's have egg. except the semolina pastas or organic ones. # There are very few good chocolates which don't have traces of Egg!
# Most creams have gelatin. There are only few which don't. # Most yoghurt's have gelatin. # Turkish delight, jelly, lollies almost all of them have gelatin. So far i have only found jelly beans which don't have gelatin also Aldi store sells gelatin free jellys. yummy!
How much iron should a child vegetarian consume per day?
As much as non-vegetarians. :)
This page from the Vegetarian Society will tell you exact milligrams per day requirements for people of various ages: http://www.vegsoc.org/info/iron.html#requ
The same page also says that chick peas and spinach are good sources of iron, and that vegetarians are no more likely to be anaemic.
It's really important to get enough vitamin C as it helps with non-meaty iron absorption. Daily vitamin B12 is also really important, and if you're feeling weak it really helps to take it regularly. I don't know, but I am a vegetarian and I eat lots of nuts and tofu. I think soy products will help too.
