I have been a vegetarian for over 70 years- no moral/ethical/health reasons, just don't like meat or fish. You can imagine how awkward it was being a veggie in the 50s especially with school dinners being what they were, even the veg was horrible.
As a teenager i earned an undeserved reputation as I was (I am told) apparently 'pale and interesting' however it was nothing illegal, just a poor diet.
No significant health issues to date other than (as Peter says) the all but inevitable B12 deficiency, the older you get the less able your body is to absorb B12, so injections or if you are lucky, tablets and fortified foods are required. I determine from this that being a strict veggie/ vegan is not ideal as you have to use unnatural methods to keep healthy.
What will happen to farm livestock if everybody becomes vegan and what will fertilise the soil for growing vegetables?
