Funniest part about vegetarians and things of the nature is that people who claim it and the unwittingly consume a gallon *obvious overexageration* of Jello brand gelatin, dont realise that the same basic composition of jello is the basis of most meats. So in reality they arent any different than us. =P They just like to think so.
Sometimes people become vegetarians because their bodies cant break down the red meats and other such things. Hep C prevents the breakdown of red meats, which the body needs to stay healthy to a degree *watched my father enough to learn quite a bit* but instead of becoming a salad-bar breath person *just kidding* he ate fish and chicken. Both combined are almost as good as red meats. Sure red meats are bad for you, but in this day and age what isnt? Unless you grow your foods outta the ground *which you still dont know if its got anything in it or not* then technically you could be doing just as much harm as carnivores.
To touch note on the obesity thing, its eating in moderation not material. I know people who eat a steak every other day, and I know people who eat out all the time. The difference is in alot of the activities the person does through out the day. And sometimes it is yet again the bodies designs and flaws *which we're designed how we are supposed to be from birth. No relation to religion in my view* My friend has a thyroid issue, causes him weight trouble. Me, I have an overactive metabolism and I CANT gain weight. Obesity is really an individual thing. =)
