I don't think vegetarian are always healthier. I should know though because I run 8-10 miles a day and I am a vegetarian.

Not always because even if you are a vegetarian doesn't make you healthier because you can still be eating a lot of junk food and not getting enough sleep or exercise in a day. By average maybe but not always because some people have lived into their hundreds and have eaten meat. And it also depends on how you take care of your body and your genetics and the fact that not everyone truly dies naturally. And not all meats cause cancer it is just eating lots and lots of it especially red and processed meats.

Its not the fact that you are a vegetarian that makes you live longer its the decisions about what food you eat. It doesn't matter if you're a meat eater or a vegetarian, it's the choice of food that matter. If the meat eater decides to eat low fat and healthy meat and the vegy decides to eat of hi-fat donuts and crackers with dip (the dip being the hi-fat part), more than likely the meat eater would be the one to live longer. But its not only the kind of food you eat that effect your life style. The amount of exercise you do does effect your life span .
Being a vegy that exercises and doesn't smoke and that is all round a healthy person will live longer than a meat head who does the same things. (more that likely)

Some people say it does, but it would be very naive to say think EVERY vegetarian lives longer than EVERY meat eater.
That just isn't possible; we all could die at any time, and many causes of death have no relation to diet anyway.

M 90 year old granny eats a steak once a week aside from her usual meat/veggie/grain diet so that pretty much kills the theory of meat eating being bad for you..
You seem to be under the notion that being vegetarian means you are automatically healthy. That too is a myth.

no, just the fact that you do not eat meat does not make you live longer. an omni that eats a healthy, well balanced diet would probably live longer than a vegetarian that ate nothing but junk everyday.

Depends on the diet & lifestyle.
A sedentary vegetarian who lives on oreos and baco's (yes they're vegan)
is probably not going to live as long as an active omnivore who eats a variety of fruits and vegetables (gasp! Omnis are supposed to eat these, too!) and eats fish once a week.

No, eating a balanced and varied diet may help you live longer.
Eating too much meat might find a way to kill you though, just like billions of other things.
