People think is bad because they think you don't get enough proteins and enough vitamins with a vegetarian diet. I am a vegetarian and I know you are at risk of becoming anemic. Anemia is a deficiency of red blood cells and/or hemoglobin. But as long as you keep a good balanced diet you will not become anemic.
Also some people think we have to eat meat. I think you are free to choose your own diet, as long as you keep it balanced and be happy with what you are eating. I don't impose my diet to others, so I don't think people should tell me I need to eat meat. I have been a vegetarian for 10 years now, and I am happy this way.
So don't pay to much attention on what others think. Be free, healthy, and happy.

Being vegetarian--or vegan--is giving a kick in the pants to a society that believes eating meat and drinking cows' milk is normal. Someone's being veg*an (shorthand for vegan or vegetarian) shows that one can thrive without these cruel products.
You know how you think something new or different is weird? That's the way a lot of people probably think about veg*ans.

They believe the lie that humans need to eat other animals in order to be healthy, and the truth is, we don't...

Often, people are afraid of things they don't understand or are unfamiliar with. Who cares what they think!

...Because Humans are omnivores. We are supposed to eat a variety of foods to get the nutrition we need.

it's not normal. it's natural to eat meat. to quote denis leary, "i didn't rise to the top of the food chain to eat grass"
