the only correct bit is that heart disease kills the most people the world over.
Although vegetarians and vegans may opt to live less stressful lifestyles and not take high pressure jobs, this can mean they are lower earners than those who choose to work longer hours or have conventional careers and cannot afford to heat their homes or keeping plumbing/heating infrastructure maintained, making them prone to other bad health problems (I’ve noticed this amongst friends of mine).
And those who have the habit of getting up too early in the morning “because its healthy” and then getting upon their bicycles in rush hour because the shops they go to don’t open late are regularly knocked over on the roads or get into other incidents (yet if they waited just one hour they could ride in safety, and round here its no safer in cars when the roads are busy as there are still bad crashes, it gets worse towards the “festive” season).
His Holiness the Dalai Lama eats a small amount of meat – he’s been berated by Western yoghurt weaver for doing so, who forget he is an aged man who has constantly been followed around by the Chinese feds and military (some of them in charge of the operation must be as old as he is!) this has a toll on physical and mental health, so all these Oriental chaps tend to heed advice from their doctors with regard to balanced diets.
Of course many eventually still keel over from heart attacks but they do tend to get a few more years and prefer to “die with their boots on” rather than moulder away in retirement homes.
