Why Vegetarians Are Better Than You

We're more healthy.

We live longer.

We're better looking.

We're more intelligent.

We actually research and know what's in the food we eat.

We respect animal rights more than you.

We respect the planet more than you.

We don't foolishly consume resources.

The American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada have stated that at all stages of life, a properly planned vegetarian diet is "healthful, nutritionally adequate, and provides health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases." Large-scale studies have shown that mortality from ischaemic heart disease was 30% lower among vegetarian men and 20% lower among vegetarian women than in non-vegetarians.
