Re: Vegetarian
[ QUOTE ]
I am a vegetarian and have been for 18 years. Should I eat a hamburger or not? If yes why? If no why not [/ QUOTE ] Do what makes you happy. Follow your heart/bliss. "Should" introduces a moral component and suggests to me that you are fishing for an argument.

Re: Vegetarian
If you have survived 18 years on a vegetarian diet you have probably been doing something at least a little right. But maybe not optimally.
Talking about being there for your son and being tired all the time sounds like you have health issues that need addressing. Are you doing other things that interfere with the length and quality of your sleep and causing stress, like anything from prescription drugs to booze to too much caffeine or soda to too much stress at work or fighting with the wife and family? If it has taken you 18 years to feel bad, that's why I suggested looking elsewhere but your diet first. However, is there something funky with your diet that you are aware of, and maybe only now admitting to, or what? I'm just surprised you pin a health problem on your diet, when there's nothing inherently unhealthy about being a vegetarian in itself. But perhaps you could optimize your diet too? Maybe get more protein or something? How old are you? Getting tired all day can be standard as you get older if you don't exercise much and the years start piling up.

Surely this is not a new problem for a vegetarian-- why not ask them?
