Vegetarians should not just stop eating flesh and think 'that's it'.
They need to research the protein values of beans pulses and cereals, and which ones to combine in the same meal to achieve the same protein content as meat and fish.
Iron is in eggs and spinach too.
We would be a healthier nation if we took more interest in what we eat.
Hopefully the reintroduced school cookery lessons will include some food science as well as cooking skills.
I recommend 2 books-
Diet for a Small Planet - and - Recipes for a Small Planet
They are good guides to being vegetarian and staying healthy.
PS just realised that this is a bit of a thread wander.....sorry

What do you mean by 'reintroduction'? When did they stop teaching cookery? I only left school just over 2 years ago and cooking was compulsory til year 10 then you could choose whether to do cooking or woodwork/electronics etc.
Everything I cook at uni I learnt at school
Least something was useful
