Vegetarianism and veganism is not a cure-all. It is a lifestyle choice that can work great if practiced properly, if it is not practiced properly it can have devastating effects just like meat eaters can see.
And meat does not clog your intestines. LOL. Where did you come up with that? Some colon cleansing super site trying to pawn off their latest detox regimen that costs $50 for a one-week supply?

Indeed, I have several vegan friends, 3 that I can think of off the top of my head who I hang out with regularly right now. And of these 3, neither of the girls is what i'd exactly call thin or skinny. Nice girls, but they definitely have a little chub goin' on, and are both long time vegetarians.
/me crosses fingers and hopes neither ever finds this post
