Question

How come vegetarians in the USA and Canada fat?

Answer 1

They were fat and became vegetarians to thin down.  Vegetarian diets to loose weight are several decades old.

Answer 2

i have a vegetarian (not) friend and she is very fat..

we (my family) think it's because, not only does she not eat meat she hardly eats anything else healthy and doesn't take iron tablets.  Her body is so used to digesting bad foods that anything she eats will automatically turn to fat....

that's what i think.. and i'm pretty sure its right

Answer 3

Not all of them are... Just like not all people who eat meat are fat. Some people eat more than others, it doesn't matter what it is. Unless they're super strict and just eat vegetables or whatever.

Answer 4

lol...that a pretty huge assumption, although there is no denying that there is a problem with obesity her in the United States, not sure about Canada. I would assume that if anyone gains weight being vegetarian it is probably because they don't know how to eat properly as a vegetarian. To be a vegetarian and get the full amount of nutrition that you eat you have to be very skilled in combining certain foods so you can still get the proteins you need etc. The mistake most people make is just eating lots of carbs, which in excess turns into fat, plus carbs don't fill people up, and depending on if the carbs are simple or not it will just make you more hungry.

Can you answer my question?

Answer 8

This question is not rude, it's stupid. And, if your looking for an "answer" then it should be in vegetarians and vegans, not beauty and health.. no one can answer you here.

Answer 9

I have not seen that Canadians are fat, Canadians actually live in a Socialist society.  Therefore, they have access to free higher education and free medical care. The result being, they take great pride in educating and caring for themselves physically, especially those of French lineage. Have you seen how the French eat? They indulge in rich delicacies in moderation only!
