India has a huge issue with anemia as well, especially among women; it's really a shame. Theoretically vegetarian diet just doesn't have enough iron, and their menstrual cycles make it necessary (depending on genetics) to replenish. Anemia is much more prevalent amongst women for this reason. A LOT boils down to personal genetics and the diet of geographical ancestors. As an Indian, my ancestors ate a ton of fiber and dairy, so I do quite well with those two elements. Someone with eskimo/nordic lineage would probably do great with lots of fish (raw). Price noted that Eskimos were some of the healthiest specimens he encountered, and their diet consisted of tons of raw seafood, and very little plants....but keep in mind they would eat the ENTIRE animal, with all the organs. Organ meat is some of the most nutritious food on the planet.
I think about 80% of vegans in the US are women. About 80-85% of vegetarians return to eating meat. I think plant based is great if you can handle it, just don't force it on to developing children...and I grow skeptical when it's promoted by big corps and elites who promote it as part of a "Green" movement.
