Posted Jan 21, 2011, 9:06 amHi !! I have read the kind diet over a few times ... I have really been wanting to switch to this way of eating. I'm 14 and I became a vegetarian a few years ago. I tried being a vegan in the summer but found it very hard as my family isn't and they would buy cheesecake and other yummy baked goods. I went back to being a vegetarian after a day at the PNE where I couldn't find anything vegan. About a month ago I realized that I really did want to be a vegan. So now i'm a vegan again and I never plan to go back!!! I really want to try being superhero (most of the time). My mom worries about my nutrition... as I am still in my last few growing years. I feel that I am getting everything I need ... minus calcium. I know lots of sources ... but I never seem to be able to find a way to include enough of it into my day. Can anyone help me??? Thanks so much! :D <3

also, is it true that you need almost twice as much iron if you are vegan because it's not absorbed as well? thats what my nutritionist told me ...
