Question for you /fit/, is being a vegetarian truly more healthy than being an omnivore?
What about just removing red meat from my diet?
It's just been bugging me, so I had to ask.

Speaking as an ethical vegetarian, I'd say that from a health perspective both diets can be perfectly healthy if practiced properly, and the American Dietetic Association gives vegetarian/vegan diets its approval. That said, If health is your only concern, I see no valid reason to become a vegetarian. Obviously, plenty of people are very healthy on diets containing meat and this idea that you are going to get cancer or die or whatever if you eat meat is just propagandistic liberal bullshit based on bad science (quite typical of them, unfortunately).

Red meat can be bad for you. Higher consumption causes higher risk of colorectal cancer (largely treatable) and high cholesterol and heart disease, but mainly in men. Women don't need quite so much protein, but menstruating women do need the iron. Nothing comes close to red meat for iron. NOTHING.

Total vegetarianism is, in my view, too extreme. If you don't feel strongly about not eating animals, it's probably too much of a hassle. Vegetarians have to be informed about their diet, especially so they don't give too little protein, iron or calcium to their children, which can cause serious problems.

Your pick, mate. I'm an omnivore, because I can't be bothered to tiptoe my life around the issue of protein and iron. The consensus is that you can do it either way, but it has to be said, if you can get all the nutrients in on a vegetarian diet, you'll probably live a bit healthier.
