Why do vegetarians always look so unhealthy?

Vegetarians are the worst. Can't we round them, teetotallers, religious people and rap-metal fans up and ship them off to Iran?

Number one tip: allow your meat-eating friends to adopt him/her.

Any parent that raises their child to be a vegetarian is farkwad asshole. Give your child the choice. You can explain why you're a vegetarian but don't farking deny a 2 year old some chicken mcnuggets every now and then because you're a piece of shiat vegetarian. God I hate so many people.

Yes. They're the cause of the obesity epidemic.

I only eat food that does not make a shadow; that is why I only eat food that is harvested or killed at night or on a cloudy day.

You're an idiot.

Ever heard of Bill Pearl?

Four time Mr. Universe?

Used to rip license plates in half to demonstrate his strength?

He was a vegetarian -- lacto-ovo, but still a vegetarian.

Your theory -- he just kicked sand in its face.

I've met quite a few overweight vegetarians in my life. One of them was my date's friend on a double-date. Unfortunately, we ended up at a vegetarian restaurant. The food wasn't bad, but the fact that they didn't have beer made me stabby.

"An oak-leaf hat he had for his crown,
His shirt it was by spiders spun:
With doublet wove of thistledown,
His trousers up with points were done;
His stockings, of apple-rind, they tie
With eye-lash pluck'd from his mother's eye:"

If it's true what they say about tofu/soy and testosterone/sperm counts, then they're slowly castrating themselves.

Even if this fits the majority of the stereotype, I've actually known a few that were seriously fat.

They still looked sick and quite the douchebags.

I think that I've met one that wasn't, so it can happen. Same with Mac users, Volkswagen owners, cyclists, pothead and atheists.

/did I miss any of the major ones?

Tips on how to raise a vegetarian child so that he grows up to be healthy, happy and insufferably self-righteous just like you

Step 1. Shoot self in head (assuming that you're still strong enough to hoist the barrel of the gun up to your mouth)

Step 2. Let a meat-eater raise your kid so he doesn't grow up to be an insuffrable douche, like you.

Step 3. ????

Step 4. Profit?

The overweight vegetarians I've met thought having Pop Tarts and Mountain Dew for breakfast was healthy because it had no meat.

Well, this article was unbelievably unhelpful for me. I just want to know how in the fark can I get my kid to eat her veggies in the first place without my dining room becoming the Korean DMZ.

I was raised vegetarian, and I hated it. I would break the "rules" every chance I had. Some of the food is ok, but only when you are eating it because you like it, not when it is the only option being forced upon you.

I can't really speak for him, but I think he meant why do -some- vegetarians look wan, pale, mal-nourished? Heck, I seen some who looked gray (maybe not as bad as long-time colloidal silver advocates, but still pretty wrong looking).

The truth is probably because they are mal-nourished in some fundamental manner, whatever it is. I am sure there are ways not to be malnourished and eat a strictly vegetarian (and even vegan) diet, but it probably requires a bit of research to make sure you are getting everything needed (that, or just drink more alfalfa smoothies?)...

Soooo....learning meat came from animals filled you with an insatiable blood lust that forced you to begin dismebering and devouring mammals?

That doesn't look very healthy. It looks like a muscle-bound freak.

I know a developmentally challenged vitamin B deficient child whose condition is due his mother's vegetarian diet. He is also a vegetarian. Sad when it harms your kids forever.

The obesity epidemic isn't caused by meat consumption, it's caused by sugars and lack activity. Please leave steak, Polish sausage, and bacon out of this.

meat carnivores are militant and defensive about eating meat.

I mean, I'd agree that vegetarians are annoying, but this thread is more self-righteous and annoying than any vegetarian that I've ever met.

If you could have handed out NY strip or a dry aged ribeye for Halloween, my ten year old son would have you canonized. I don't eat meat. He lives on it. As a mother who would like to push her animal friendly agenda on her child, I make him the food he wants and I shut the fark up. Sometimes I make him take it out of the package for me, though. That little white plastic blood sucker upper thing makes me woozy.
/Cool story, yada yada
