I don't eat meat because I think it's disgusting. It's flesh to me, not food, so I'm not going to start eating it no matter how bad the economy is. Most people eat meat, so I don't think all the vegetarians in the world would really make that much of a difference.

Plus do you know that some religions actually forbid eating animal products? Does that make them "braindead"?

As for the iron issue, most vegetarian diets are heavy in soy products, and soy among lots of other beans is loaded with iron. Also, most meat replacement products are fortified with extra vitamins and being that vegetarians rely on plants in their diets, we also get the required amount of Vitamin C to better help absorb those vitamins.
