Plenty of people have opinions about nutrition. Some of these are even backed up by data.
My personal experience: Since going vegetarian/veganish, I lost weight, and my blood pressure and cholesterol numbers improved. I eat a fair bit of soy (both fermented and not) and gluten and neither seems to disagree with me. I feel great on a day to day basis.
The cost of vegetables is a non-issue for me because I pull most of them out of a sanitary dumpster behind the nearest grocery. Many of them are individually bagged and seemingly tossed because they had a small bruise. I wash them thoroughly, and in the years I've been doing it, gotten sick fewer times eating dumpster veggies (zero times) than at restaurants.
