Study: Vegetarians Less Healthy, Lower Quality of Life than Meat-Eaters
http://atlanta.cbslocal.com/2014/04/01/study-vegetarians-less-healthy-lower-quality-of-life-than-meat-eaters/
It is a health study and it should take awhile before these things are solidified as authoritative, but I found this interesting. Some things to note from the article:
- It's not actually saying meat-eaters are healthier (article title is potentially misleading), but eating some level of meats doesn't appear to be a bad thing.
- It's not saying eating a lot of vegetables and low-fat foods is bad, but having a diet that absolutely excludes certain food groups might be. Diets rich in fruits & vegetables still show enormous health benefits.
- Russia was not justified in moving into Crimea
The health of many vegetarians is at least partially linked to their overall lifestyle and persona. Vegetarians drink less alcohol, are more unlikely to smoke or take other recreational drugs, are more attentive of their bodies, etc.

Vegetarians were twice as likely to have allergies, a 50 percent increase in heart attacks and a 50 percent increase in incidences of cancer.
How exactly??
There's a clear link between eating saturated fats and heart attack through blockage of vital arteries, but this, this is just some blatant assertion that they tried to pass of as fact. I want to see the group that was used for this assessment.

Basing myself on my prior knowledge this article seems quite strange.
Now, who said that being vegetarian means that you will consume less alcohol or you will not use drugs was obviously wrong.
Alimentation doesn't exclude other behaviors, someone forgot that correlation is not equal to causation.
The thing about heart attacks and cancer seems like biased, many other studies state the opposite. If we are referring to vegetarians as more prone to sicknesses we are moving to another kind of afflictions based around the lack of nutrients found in meat. And even in this case the ones that are more exposed are vegans, those vegetarians that consume some animal products (not meat mind you) are less prone to these problems.

eating meat is close to eating what we are made of ourselves. There is some scientific theory then with how we extract certain required biological elements from what is on some levels a counterpart of our own bodies.
I would venture to say in whole there are less people allergic to meats, than there are with reactions to the biological system of some or many plant forms.

All these so-called scientific studies are just ways of scientist staying on the payroll. We fund these you know 
The reality is - it isn't what you eat these days, its the quantity. People don't eat moderately anymore, they go crazy. I mean the portions are ridiculous. Everything is super sized. People don't know when to stop. And people eat far too much meat, far too much. Eating meat once or twice a week is perfectly adequate.
Going out to eat with friends can be a nightmare. If I can't order from the kids menu, then you need to share (which isn't that difficult amongst girls tbh). Otherwise its too much it becomes hysterical .... and not the funny haha hysterical. I mean the full blown 'get me the hell outta here, I have an Uzi', hysterical. And then I have to be carried home, as I am semi-comatose.
But regardless of that, any vegetarian or vegan worth his salt (pardon the accidental pun), will realize that in order to do it right, they really have to eat properly. Some take supplements, which kind of defeats the object really.
Yes yes, the human body is meant to be omnivorous, but with the right knowledge and discipline you can be a healthy vegetarian/vegan.

You are only saying that because your country does not have a giant army with nukes, tanks and prostitutes.
