Obviously eating fruits and proper veg food can give you enough nutrients.

It is absolute BS that you have to eat non-veg for your body to have a balance.

True.

Humans do not need to eat meat and consume junk food like KFC, McDonald's, Pizza Hut and all the garbage Americans consume on a daily basis. It is the meat products that are making people sick. Big food companies have lied to people for many years and as consequence we have high rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc as a result of eating too many meat products.

So very true.

Be prepared to spend a lot of money with doctors/nutritionists, blood tests and vitamin supplements, if you´re willing to be a vegetarian - at least that´s what my vegetarians friends do.

I don´t think it´s healthy at all. Some nutrients are only find in good portions in animal sources, like complex B vitamins, creatin, calcium etc. and we all know that vegetal protein is not processed as well as animal protein in the body.

I do think it´s much better to be ovo-lacto vegetarian. Egg and milk protein are great sources of those nutrients, and you will not need to eat meat at all.

I believe every point in your post is incorrect.  

It´s ok if you think differently, but everything I said I learned directly from them, and them being true vegans. I´d rather trust in statements from people who actually follow a true vegan lifestyle than from dubious internet articles.

Just as a side note, they´re vegans for religious and phylosofical reasons, not for health-related reasons.
