RE: 6 Ways Being a Vegetarian Could Seriously Mess You Up (yellow journalism & anti-veg propaganda)

Katherine Schreiber thinks vegetarians are at a higher risk for vitamin D deficiency (they aren't), that we can't meet vitamin D needs so we should supplement with calcium instead (what?), that we are at a higher risk for iron deficiency anemia (wrong again), and that we are more likely to become anxious and depressed (this again?).

It's a sad piece of propaganda written by someone who can't even be bothered to read the studies she references. It's also the topic of this 25+ minute video. Enjoy and please be sure to share with anyone you know who found her article at all convincing.

1:18 - 1. Low Vitamin D (aka there's no hope for us)
6:29 - 2. Not enough zinc (aka okay, that actually wasn't terrible)
8:07 - 3. Anemia (aka it's an exclusively veg problem, apparently)
10:08 - 4. Anxiety (aka someone didn't read her sources)
13:52 - 5. Depression (aka someone STILL didn't read her sources)
15:59 - 6. Eating disorders (aka this is kind of our fault)
22:08 - Summation
