Question:

Why do people hear the word "vegetarian" and automatically think "anorexic" "unhealthy" etc...???

i had previously asked a question about raising my children as vegetarian's and the first person that answered was saying something along the lines of "yay, let's all raise our kids to be anorexic". i'm vegetarian and i'm nowhere near being anorexic, i love to eat, no lie.
vegetarianism is one of the most healthiest diets out there, why do a lot of people think that it's unhealthy. we dont just eat fruits and veggies, there's lots of food out there with no meat in it.

Answers:

research, it's all about research, if they just researched about vegetarians, vegans, raw foodist, they would be enlightened!

But we are talking to kids here, mostly adolescents. So explanation is not what they listen to.
