Totally depends on what food you choose. You can be healthy or not either way. Environmentally, veg diets are superior. Non-animal foods seem cleaner to me. I like to know where my food has been. Everyone can benefit from eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Vegetarians have lower rates of heart disease, diabetes, and ostoeporosis. Veg diets are endorsed by the American Heart Association and even the USDA.

That depends. A good balance is the key factor. Becoming a vegetarian and just deleting meat/fish from your menu, will not make you any healthier, on the contrary. Make sure you do lots of research and make sure your vegetarian diet is nutritional. It takes some work and a completely different approach towards menu planning. If your vegetarian diet is a well-balanced one, your body will thank you for it.

Aha, absolutely better than non-veg.
Eating meat and to process living beings is not how your body is built. Your body goes thru trauma if you eat meat.
Vegetables are easy on your system.
Research shows that it takes 10 days for the meat to be processed and be out of your system completely. Sounds gross but it is a fact. It has putrify in the system to be out.
Vegetables, on the otherhand, are out of your system next day and you are ready to receive more fresh things.
Plus, you ingest everything that the animal has ingested. Madcow disease, Birdflu and others are a fine examples of why you should avoid meat altogether.
It causes untold number of diseases that are not common to humans. Just avoid meat/poultry. With fish eat in moderation because it ingests microbes and organisms that are not good for you. With moden day science, it has been found that the natives who have been eating sea food all their lives are also taking in mercury. This is a deadly compound.
Even after many years, the native Indians' hair under tests have been found to contain mercury and lead and the source is fish.
Just wash the vegs., and peel the skin and cook them well. Some puritans cook them under the sun for 6 hours. This is a natural method. I have been eating vegetables this way for the past many years and (touch wood) - I do not have any disease and I do not even get flu or cold.......!!!. Others envy me.
I also have a strict exercise program, 4 times a week. I control my weight to my height. I could not be happier.

Totally. A typical non-veg food sits in your digestive track for more than 72 hours whereas typical veg food takes less than 8 hours. Best stuff is water melon - takes less than 4 hours.
Imaging keeping raw chicken in your storage for 3 days and it rots terribly.
On spiritual level, non-veg instills animal like instinct and spoils your thoughts. Check out canines in typical non-vegetarians. Human digestive system is designed for vegetarian food and shoving it non-standard thingies can only do harm.
In places where veggies are tougher to get (sea coast/deserts etc), it makes sense to get non-veg food. But if you are lucky to have the option, go Veggie! And if you are athlete who needs lot of protein, non-veg is definitely a better option.

I think it just depends on your own personal preferences, there is some veg food I don't like, and there is some veg food that carnivores like. I wouldn't say one is better than the other.

you can have a healthy vegetarian diet as long as you include raw milk and eggs. some vegetarians will eat fish too, which will also help put variety in the diet. supplementing is not as good as getting the real thing and often not assimilated by the body.

for the love of god, do you people actually believe that vegetarians lack anything except heartlessness? the only thing you can't get naturally from animal products is B12 but guess what?? it's a supplement in a ton of vegetarian/vegan stuff, like soy milk. don't think for a second that we're missing out on anything except for cancer, obesity, atherosclerosis, diabetes,... i could continue, but you get the point.
any nutritional value in meat comes from the plants the animals are fed (i'll forget about the downers that are ground up and fed to other animals as "flour"). why in the name of god wouldn't you just eat the plants themselves instead of getting your calories from a secondary, impure, and diseased source? by the way, all energy in food is originally solar energy transformed by plants.
people who say vegetarians/vegans as a whole aren't healthy simply refuse to look at the facts. that idea is so outdated, it makes me want to gag. just like omnivores, veggies have to make the choice to eat healthy or not, but i assure you that if you have an ounce of sense in you, you can see that humans are equally adapted to eating veggies, you just have to think about what you're putting in our mouth...which i think alot of americans forget how to do...

It depends on your translation of vegetarian. My nephew thinks he is a vegetarian because all he will eat is bread, rice, broccoli and cheese. Those foods do not a healthy diet make. Now there are some vegetaians who eat all organic and get really creative with their meals. I think that then a vegetarian diet could be AS healthy as a meat-eaters diet.
But as a friend of mine pointed out, Vegans(not vegetarians) smell funny.
