Do vegetarians lead longer and better lives?!
even into their senior years!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
There isn't and couldn't be any evidence that vegetarians live longer than other people!. And everyone can (and probably will) quote the case of a relative who either ate meat or didn't and who lived to a ripe old age!. They don't necessarily have better health, if that's what you mean; any diet - vegetarian, vegan or including meat - can be healthy or unhealthy depending on what is eaten!.
Vegetarians and vegans are not protected against disease or accident, both of which might shorten a life!.
Better lives!? What does that mean!? Some vegetarians will have lived productive lives, working for a better world and being compasssionate towards other people!. Others will have been nasty, selfish bastards!. Most, like most other people, will have fallen somewhere in between!. People aren't necessarily nice or good just because they're vegetarianWww@FoodAQ@Com

Not necessarily and define : "BETTER"
It's how one perceives/defines quality of life vegetarianism or meat eating!.
Could be somatic, emotional or combination!.
I am a carnivore/omnivore and i am very very healthy and my life quality is satisfactory!.
I know quite a FEW over weight vegetarians!.!.!.who are pale,with gray pallor/// with little muscle definition and constantly complaining about being sick!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It all depends!.
Genetics and environmental factors play huge roles in terms of longevity and quality of life!.
But in general, studies have shown that vegetarians have a lesser risk of certain diseases and conditions that stem from eating a lot of animal products (containing saturated fats)!.
Of course, if you are healthy, that means you have a better chance of living longer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Studies suggest that people who follow what is known as the Mediterranean diet live the longest and are healthiest!. The closer a person follows the diet, the more longevity they have!. This is based on a large study of diet done in Europe that also followed different populations of people!. The longest lived based on diet were Greeks, followed by Spaniards, followed by Italians!. The English were near the bottom of the list!. The Mediterranean diet principally consists of grains (bread, pasta, rice), vegetables and legumes, olive oil, some fish/seafood and lean meat (eg, poultry), dairy products, and wine!. A new study showed that adding nuts to the diet boosted the beneficial effect on cardiovascular health!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
According to a study done by the Seventh Day Adventist Church, vegetarians/vegans live from 10 to 11 years longer then meat eaters!. The majority of their membership is veggie!.
You would have to define better, because what you eat doesn't make you a nice, or happier person!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It depends!. I just happen to think I live a better life because I don't feel guilty about the cruelty and death of animals!. I feel that living a compassionate life also includes those who do not have a say in the matter!. So saving animals definitely makes me a better person for myself!. I would feel terrible eating meat again!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
