Also, I think vegans/vegetarians fail to realize that it costs land to grow their crops. The more people eat vegetables, the more land is required, and the more loss of natural habitat occurs for animals. So the veggie people are indirect killers themselves and they need to accept that fact.
You are wrong on so many levels.
Let me just say that I am the healthiest person I know, and I look younger than anyone I know my age. I am vegetarian for many, many reasons, one of which is definitely health and optimal nutrition.
The majority of crops are grown for the meat animals. I won't repeat the stats here, as there is ample reference on this site thanks to Monica. But you are so far off here in your assessment I had to say something. It's the opposite of what you presume. I'll leave it to you or anyone else who is actually interested in facts to research it.
