I am sure there are countless vegetarians who struggle with their weight. Controlling body weight is a complex issue having to do with level of activity, amount of food and what type of food, and the rate at which your body handles food. Simply not eating meat does NOT make you healthy. I can easily imagine a slightly plump vegetarian, however, I do have a hard time picturing an OBESE one.
Sabriel, well put. Along the same lines, it is amusing how humans all too often think the world will simply implode if we weren't in it. Like the argument that eating animals "helps control the animal population". As much as it may hurt our pride, this earth does not need us. It would keep turning on its axis without us and arguably be in much better condition. This fabulous ecosystem has ways of controlling population and keeping things running on it's own. We aren't doing the world a "favor" by eating animals.
