The people who don't have a balanced diet and then have health problems should not be compared with those who participate in the Atkins diet. Or maybe they should, either way they are making a choice that will possibly negatively affect their health.
Vegatarianism is a lifestyle choice, not a fad diet. Although it is more difficult, vegetarians can get all the nutrition they need from their food, it just takes a little more effort.
