Do you even know what you are arguing?
Those links show that on average a vegetarian diet is healthier than one a meat eater has. I stated that many meat-eaters and vegetarians eat unhealthily, and it is not because they are not knowledgeable about what they should be eating.
I would say most people know what they should be eating, and simply a higher percentage of vegetarians actually follow this because they have to simply because their diet is restrictive and is more prone to being not as nutritional.
Do you really need me to do an internet search to show you how vegetarians are more likely to miss out or not get enough of their daily protein & vitamins?
I did outline my empirical research. The two fattest (which I classify as being unhealthy) people I know are vegetarians.
The healthiest eats meat.
I don't need to show you any studies funded by the meat industry. Your links of "thevegetariansite" "vegetarian-nutrition" do really show non-bias.
Thanks for you medicalnewstoday.com link though, as that was really informative. It didn't have that much to do with being vegetarian, it more so had to do that they switched to a low-fat diet.
The fact is, a healthy diet is the best option whether it be a meat filled one or a vegetarian one.

Thanks...that is what the average North American eats on a daily basis.
If youve been paying attention to what Ive been saying, I also said that
IF someone eats a balanced diet, then they likely will be ok...but the % of people out there that actually eat that way...bottom 10% maybe?
