The American Dietetic Association says “ It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes.”

Which doesn’t seem to be in alignment with your comment.

Have to roll my eyes every time I see doctors having to deal with this issue. They cannot just outright say what is common sense, without causing an outcry. So they have to wiggle around issue. "Appropriately planned" is the key phrase.

Is it common sense? Or just what we were indoctrinated to believe is common sense? I ask with all sincerity as a SAD¹ eater who hasn't escaped his raised-in-Iowa childhood eating habits.

Removing one of the most nutritious sources of food from one's diet makes planning a health diet harder. And then, because it is harder, it is also more risky. That is what I consider to be common sense.

Even Dale Gribble would know this is common sense. There is no shadowy 'they' here.
