No, so you might as well eat all the food you enjoy. At the end of it all, it doesn't matter. Eating foods of all kinds is one of life's greatest pleasures.
Every person is different so It's not always easy to make a blanket statement like that.
They don't eat meat so their cholesterol is down a lot more than people who do eat meat. Because they eat a lot of vegetables, tofu and other healthy foods it's probable that a person on a vegetarian diet could live longer than someone who ate meat on a regular basis. But you have to take into account medical history. If a person who has one or two parents who have a family history of high cholesterol it's still possible for a vegetarian to have unhealthy cholesterol levels.
I was a vegetarian for 6 years. My cholesterol levels went down but they still had to be watched. I was an ovo, lacto vegetarian.
Maybe a little. Vegetarianism seems to offers some protection against some of the leading killers and causes of disability like obesity, heart disease and some cancers. I have a strong family history of diabetes and my mom died from kidney failure caused by diabetes when she was 61, so I think that I'll live longer because I'm vegan, but you never know.

yes. eating animal proteins greatly increases your chance of many types of cancers. also cholesterol is found only in animal based food. a vegan has a 90% less chance of dying from a heart attack than someone who eats meat.
No. Its just like everything else...some people will live a long time with terrible habits, and some will live a long time with healthy habits. Flip side, some will die young. Too many variables.
According to studies, vegetarian (and especially vegans), on average live 7 years longer than those who eat flesh.
yup apparently haha

vegan
It depends. A lot of junk food can be eaten by vegetarians and omnivores..
no it also depends on your environment as well as your diet.
I don't believe so. We kind of have the same life cycle (: So eating meat doesn't really make a difference from not eating meat.
yes
