Many people think of vegetarians as thin, sickly individuals with pale faces and skin who do not eat meat. Or they might think of radical animal rights activists who dump paint on fur coats, or the tofu-loving hippies of the '60's, or people in other countries who refuse to eat cows. These thoughts are only partly true. It is true that vegetarians do not eat meat, but they are far from being sickly. Their diets are actually considered by some to be healthier than meat-eaters' fare.

However, the government does endorse a non-vegetarian diet. Today it is generally estimated that there are between 9 million and 12 million vegetarians in the United States. So why are so many people choosing a vegetarian lifestyle instead of the "normal'' American diet?
