Veganism happens to be one.Veganism is a diet that faces away from animal based products, including meats, eggs and dairy products. This allows for a nutritious meal to be downgraded, due to lacking foods. While veganism is presumed to be healthy, but it lacks vital vitamins, relies heavily on soy products and the effectiveness of the production.Many vitamins are lacked through a vegan diet. Some of these vitamins include B12, proteins, Iron, Zinc and Iodine. In some cases, many new born infants, with a vegan diet mother,are having B12 deficiencies. B12 is found mostly in eggs, milk cheese, meat, fish and poultry. B12

In the case study about these infants, breast fed infants from adietary lacking mother will, also, lack the vitamin. These vitamins are passed through the motherbecause these infants cannot eat solid foods, until a certain age. "Cognitive and developmental delays have been reported," says Roumeliotis, Dix and Lipson, the conductors of this research. Speech delays were also encountered, resulting from the delay, due to the lack of B12.Indicating the foods proteins is very important. "Proteins are made up of 20 different kinds of amino acids, nine of which the body can't produce on its own. These nine are called

Herbivores need to properly combine plant-based foods to form a complete protein in a meal" (Scott 1). Having an entire vegan diet leaves these proteins insufficient. One would have to mix and match food groups and other products to gain these nine amino acids. Having all of the set protein needed for the body to work is crucial, especially if one encounters in high level activity. Amino acids, or proteins, are essential to
