Veggie is the New Sexy

A girl at work today actually told me I was going to die if I did not get enough iron in me and that by not eating meat I would die.
I tried to explain that Iron comes in a few different forms, one if I was anemic (I am not) I could just take a multivitamin or something man made.
But, instead I tried to educate, a very unintelligent low class person, and I am not trying to be judgmental but this girl cannot even understand that heroin is bad for you.  How the hell can I explain to her in terms she would understand that meat is bad for you? 
All you need to know about her is that she is a hooker on the side, a heroin addict and her boyfriend pimps her out because she isnt even intelligent enough to be a freelance whore.  You know, or work a fast food job and get welfare at least.
But I digress...

 There are VEGAN sources of Iron...just try to toss in some Vitamin C to better absorb it.
Edamame is my favorite.  Because its  snack, a salad topping or an addition to a wrap.
Lentils
Spinach
various nuts.

And boom you got yourself some iron.
So stop sweating it. You are not going to die.
It is funny because she is bruised all up and down from the stage and I am not, plus I am toned.  Jus sayin Veggie is the new Sexy.
