    No, the essential trace elements such as zinc, calcium and iron are mainly from meat. Zinc is mainly derived from animal food, 80% of the calcium in the diet comes from milk, and 80% of the iron comes from meat and eggs. Vegetarians contain less zinc, calcium, and iron, and contain more oxalic acid, which can hinder the absorption of trace elements such as zinc, calcium, and iron. Therefore, long-term vegetarians are prone to some diseases caused by lack of trace elements.
