(Note that I am neither a vegetarian nor a vegan.)

There is a massive amount of research that shows that Vegans are healthier as a population than Vegetarians and definitely meat eaters. Lower risks of nearly every preventable food related illnesses, including cancer. Having this new government health pyramid flies in the face of nearly all current research.

Vegans are probably mostly healthy. Vegetarians? Religious vegetarians and healthy vegetarians intersect but mostly don't ;).

There may be some correlation but causality is unclear. India has a lot of vegetarians and also a high incidence of heart disease.
