Who writes this garbage?

Beans are a great source of iron, which is important for older people. Without iron, your loved one might develop anemia, making them feel weak and lethargic. The vegetable sources of iron are not as readily absorbable compared to the meat sources, so dieticians recommend serving beans instead.

Am I reading this wrong? Or are they just trying to convince us that what we're reading makes sense?'
Because it doesn't make sense at all.
Vegetables don't contain a type of iron that's as readily absorbable as the iron in meat.
Ok, got that. I need iron, so I should eat meat then, right?
Nope - eat beans.
Because why?
Since beans are still vegetable matter, the iron is going to be less absorbable than the iron from meat.
To me it looks like they're saying they WANT older people to have anemia. |
