Is it heathier to be vegetarian / vegan?

Will your body be healthier if you are vegetarian / vegan? I am currently vegetarian and wondering if I should go vegan.

You can be vegan and be perfectly healthy, in fact, you might even be healthier. I think vegan is the right way to go. There was a similar question to this earlier and here's how I answered.

I'm vegan and I am much healthier than I was when I was an omnivore. I've only been vegan for 6 months, and during this time I haven't gotten one cold when before when I was an omnivore, I was always sick.

As for people saying vegans don't get enough protein. Honestly...where have you see a vegan who was suffering from a lack of protein who actually ate food?? As for vitamins that some say can only be found in meat such as riboflavin, I must inform you all that my cereal has 25% of the daily needs of riboflavin and my my soy milk has 30% all in one serving. I think I might even be getting too much protein since soy is packed full of it.

Everyone who thinks vegans don't get their daily requirments of needed nutrients to live should really do some research before blabbering on about something they know nothing about.

Edit:
I'd just like to add that no vegan or vegetarian should take vitamin supplements unless they have an actual medical condition. You can get all you need through food and you don't have to eat a mass amount to get what you need.

Oh, and I find it very surprising that someone knows vegans who eat candy like crazy because from what I've found, there's hardly any vegan candy out there. And the vegan junk food that is out there is not cheap enough to eat like crazy.
