It is ceratinly NOT for health reasons that I am a vegetarian. I have seen a number of fat vegetarians in my life and some very fit meat eaters (though they tend to be fish/white meat eaters)
I have two reasons to be veggy
1) Compassion for animals
2) Using land resources efficiently. Our use of feedstocks for meat rather than eaten directly massively inflates the price of those foodstocks. If teh corn in the USA used to feed pigs and Poultry was let directly onto the market, the poorest people of South and Central America would make massive savings on their corn based food bills.

Some may call them junk, I call them treasures.
