Actually, as far as I know, lentils (and other produce like spinach which contains more iron than the average veggie) indeed contain sufficient iron, but its iron is harder to extract/assimilate by our digestive system than the iron found in meat.
Which is presumably why humans are omnivores.

A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman
