Vegetarians have a much lower risk for disease and heart problems until they are about 90, and then everything starts to even out.H8sMikeMoore
the problem with your faulty stats is that its compared to people who have a typical diet(also known as high in carbs and saturated fat...mcdonalds etc). You also completely avoided the b12 thing after calling it bogus :|
You can get B-12 from non meat sources. Plants do not supply B-12 to humans. Vegan humans who eat only plant based foods must ordinarily take special care to supplement their diets accordingly. According to the U.K. , the only reliable sources of B-12 are foods fortified with B-12 (including some soy products and some breakfast cereals), and B-12 supplements.
Also, its owrth noting that soy production has been causing massive rain forest deforestation.

You could be a lacto-ovo vegetarian and get it, but youre essentially supporting the meat industry anyway.
If soy production causing massive rain forest deforestation is worth mentioning, then why not mention the the largest cause for rainforest depletion is cattle ranching for meat and diary, a lot of which is exported to the U.S?because most american meat is farmed in the us :|
And the U.S isn't a large farmer of soy?
