How much iron does a vegetarian need?

He eats his spinach!

After the worry about where we would get enough protein comes the concern - where will we get enough iron?

Already anaemic enough to make a convincing family of vampires, we don't want to be neglecting this part of our diet.

There are, of course, supplements that we can take (and we currently ARE taking them) but ultimately, I would rather get all the nutrients we need from our daily diet.

This was my burning question, because Sonshine is a growing boy.

A couple of months ago he fell ill with some kind of sickness and dihorreah diahorreah diarrhea pooping bug.  And within four weeks he was knocked flat with the same thing again, which went on for FIVE days. He was so ill he didn't know which end of himself to drape over the toilet. Reader, he was SO ill he didn't even want to play on the playstation.  THAT ILL.
