Vegetarians most often just think they're healthier than their counter parts. It's mostly just ridiculous rubbish. The human body is certainly capable, in fact arguably designed, to eat a mixture of meats and plants. Plant proteins are also among the least useful proteins in building lean muscle mass.
Eat what you like, what works for you, but enough of the self righteous "I'm healthier than you!" bullshit. I'd wager that I'm in far better shape than 99.9% of vegetarians including all the posters in this thread. Stronger, faster, healthier and I eat a shit load of meats. In fact I eat small portions of beef, chicken and turkey every damned day.
Not to mention that Vegetrians tend to be big Soy heads and Soy has been linked to advanced brain disorders.

A new study by researchers at North Carolina State University has cited that two hormone-like compounds linked to the consumption of soy-based foods not only trigger irreversible changes in the brain, but may also result in reproductive health problems.
