I agree with you. I used to manage a health food store years ago & found too many people went overboard in avoding what they considered unhealthy foods. Being vegetarian & eating a healthy diet isn't hard at all. It doesn't require complex juggling of food groups, just sensible eating habits.
A good place to start learning is

There is no reason to allow this to happen, just because you do not eat meat and dairy. One sets out to eat better, does not have a clue, and ends malnurished.
