In regards to brain growth...there are NO vegetarian sources of EPA and DHA
in the diet.  we can make EPA and DHA from n-3 fatty acids of vegetarian
origin but we then face increased synthesis of aracidonic acid.  Humans can
obviously survive and grow on a wide variaty of food but making the numbers
and physiology work on a vegetarian based plan is difficult if not
impossible.
