What's wrong with vegetarianism?

Turns out that vegetarians are more prone to mental and physical illness, as compared to meat-eaters.

Austria's Medical University of Graz conducted a study that revealed the vegetarian diet to carry elevated risks of cancer, allergies and mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. This is despite vegetarians leading healthier lifestyles, with lower alcohol consumption and lower body mass indices. Interestingly, the study also found that those who eat less meat tend to avoid doctor's appointments. Ironically, it is the vegetarians who showed highest need for medical treatment, accompanied by lower quality of life and general lack of health.

Wonder what this means for vegetarians in India...

In the meanwhile, here are some gorgeous vegetarians whose health you can worry over.
