Vegetarians are hypocrites?

The American Dietetic Association officially states, "It is the position of the American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada that appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases." There is a considerable body of scientific data that suggests positive relationships between vegetarian diets and risk reduction for several chronic degenerative diseases and conditions, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and some forms of cancer. Because of this, vegetarians tend to live years longer than their meat-eating friends.

There are lots of studies, but as I said I'm only 80%.

well lets take into consideration how many times such organisations reverse such announcements. constantly.

remember when high fiber was said to have been 'proven' to greatly reduce the risk of colon cancer? now they say "erm...forget that..."

just one of many examples

When you look at the diets of different countries you can see the numbers greatly are in the advantage of a vegetarian diet.

Countries that are more plant based compared to meat based.
The disease in plant diets are lower.

And what aboot the thousands of professional athletes that are not vegetarians?

i say **** vegetarians...or more opertaively vegans.. i hate those bastards, especially the hollywood types. these **** ers go crazy when they here of ppl eating meat, drinking milk and wearing fur... and they go on about how its all about being healthy but they run around town in thier fancy leather shoes, and thier designer clothes with wool in it and stick needles in thier ****ing arms and have a revolving door poilcy with rehab clinics.

besides scientists say that its the protein in meat, that allowed early humans brain to develop so that they could make the transition from neandethal to cro magnon, plus ppl choosing to be vegetarians doesnt mean that animals wont be slaughtereed, it just means that the package of meat will stay in the supermanrket until somebody buys it....so there.....you **** ers!!! MORE PORK, AND INCREASED RISK OF HEART FAILURE FOR ME!!!!! YAY!!

I think the ones who think they're morally superior to those who eat meat are full of huge amounts of shit and ARE hypocrits and blatantly idiotic. The one's who do it purely for health reasons I have nothing against.

People choose to eat whatever they want to eat.

Ha, my super vege friend started eating kebabs at the works do when he was pissed. We were just stood there going "What are you doing?!" and he was saying: "I just love the taste of meat too much".

Excellent.

No, you're a moron for generalizing.

Its strange that so many people complain about vegetarians bashing people who eat meat, since all the offences I saw in this thread were not made by vegetarians.
