11. Been a Vegetarian about 5 years.

I feel great and my bad cholesterol is low and my good cholesterol is high, a complete turn around for me. Being a gym rat, I can assure you that I am in no way anemic. However, that does not mean I couldn't be convinced that some people need to eat animal due to a need for a certain type of protein or whatever. Got no problem with that.
