We are carnivores, we were built to eat meat. Can you even get everything you need from just greens?

Edit,
* Osteoporosis as a result of a lack of calcium causing bone demineralization
* Rickets in children due to a lack of vitamin D
* Iron-Deficiency Anemia due to low iron storage. One study found that 27% of women and 5% of men who were lacto-ovo-vegetarians had low serum ferritin levels (iron storage)
* Macrocytic Anemia due to vitamin B-12 deficiency. This has been observed in infants breast-fed by mothers who are strict vegetarians
* Emaciation or Slow Growth in vegetarian infants and children

However there are obvious benefits and as long as you take supplements to replace what you don't get from meat you should be okay.

A common theme seems to be thinking big tits makes them attractive

Well, I can tell you that before I become a vegetarian I was usually very sickly kid. After vegetarianism, I can truly say that I get perfect health (confirmed by medical examinations): perfect blood pressure, perfect cholesterol etc.. + lots of other benefits.

I think it's because if you're eating kilograms of vegetables and fruits every day (which means millions of pure vitamins a day) no virus can get you.

The American Dietetic Association and the Dietitians of Canada investigations proved that vegetarians don't have to be afraid of many kinds of cancer, ischemic heart disease, and other fatal diseases.

Also, scientists proved that most of vegetarians can feel free from Alzheimer’s Disease.

I'm a fat bitch (5'6" and a size 18), but I'm working on not being one - I'm running 4 days a week and back doing TKD again, and eating healthily.

Fair play to you!

Keep up the healthy lifestyle after you've lost the weight and you'll never have to worry about returning to your old self.

That would depend on your definition of fat.

But the real question is: Are you taf?

(That's fat spelled backwards. As though I'm implying that the OP could be an insecure fat person with every aspect of their life in the wrong direction, hence the need to ask others about stuff like this. As jokes go, it's not terribly funny and it doesn't really make a lot of sense. But I'm tired so we're all going to have to live with it. Or we can pretend that it never happened. Just like we did that time the French founded a small colony in sothern Wexford).

Those studies you quoted (the third one isn't a study by the way, just a review, and the fifth one is a book) are epidemiological, as in they are based on questionnaires on peoples lifestyles and don't take into account other important factors such as glycemic load of the diet.

A diet with a high glycemic load is the more likely culprit in heart disease and Alzheimer's and there are scientific mechanisms behind this. In the case of heart disease, hyperinsulemia (insulin resistance) creates lesions in the arteries that collect cholesterol and calcium from the blood stream leading to atheroma or plaque on the arteries. 90% of people diagnosed with heart disease have some blood sugar disorder too.

In the case of Alzheimers, the disease is characterised by holes in the brain, created by glycated proteins called Advanced Glycated Endproducts or AGE's which are formed as a result of hyperinsulemic blood. So again high glycemic load seems the more likely cause. Soy products also seem to contribute to memory loss too:

As for the myth of the vegatarian diet always being healthier than a meat based one, you should look at the millions of vegetarian Indians with obesity and type 2 diabetes and growing due to their increased usage of sugar and refined carbohydrate in their diet.

Vegan and vegetarian diet yield improvements in health by increasing insulin sensitivity through hunger and calorie restriction. Plus vegetarians are more likely to be health-conscious in general, exercising more, smoking less etc. Eating meat has nothing to do with it, as can be demonstrated with traditional populations that eat high meat diets but don't suffer heart disease, cancer and diabetes.

You have have a healthy diet whether you eat meat or not, just as you can have an unhealthy one, I know plenty of fat junkfood vegetarians and they all eat loads of crappy carbs.

I prefer to get the long chain omega 3's, fat soluble vitamins and high quality protein from animal sources.

There's a difference between 'curves' and 'fat'. To have curves you're supposed to go out, then in, then out again. The whole hourglass idea. What you're describing sounds like what you guys would call a Tetra Pak*.

*A guy I know has names for girls. They're either Hourglasses (perfect), Coke bottles (less perfect, but still good), Pepper pots (with some definition, but stumpy) or Tetra Paks (same width all over. To be avoided).

The shallowness abounds.

It did get a giggle out of me i must confess.

I'm disappointed that noone else thinks "uniquely bouyant" is an excellent euphenism.
