The issue is that most people have no idea how to eat properly, vegetarian or not. So obviously when people become a vegetarian, they just eat garbage food because they have no idea what they are doing. But those same people at garbage when they were not vegetarians, they just happened to get some of the nutrients they needed by accident when they ate anything and everything.

But like all things, if you don't do your research, you will probably not yield the benefits and may even do harm. Same with lifting weights, if you don't bother to learn to do it right, you will probably not see any benefit and will probably end up hurting yourself. But if you research it and learn to do it right, you will get the results you want.
