Do vegetarians have more sex? Well...
"Homes with recliners ordered 32% more meat topped pizzas than those
with loveseats in '96" (emphasis added)

Why be a vegetarian? Well, for starters, you will live longer and be healthier. If that isn't enough, consider this: it is the right thing to do.
Why? Simple. Animals are people, too.
They have feelings. They are sentient. They are not inanimate objects. True, they are not as smart as you are; they can't read a web page. But does your superior intelligence give you a right to kill? If so, then people smarter than you, have a right to kill you. This doctrine was put into practice by German dictator Adolf Hitler.
By the way, Hitler was a vegetarian, too, but not for ethical reasons. He was simply smart enough to do it for health reasons. He did not drink or smoke, either. Nor did he tolerate "second-hand" smoke.
The animals you carnivores eat, are a lot smarter, and suffer a lot more, than you give them credit for. They are darn near about as smart as you are, considering the range of living beings. Next time you decide to have some bacon, first consider this story, about how a "pet" pig saved her owner's life.
Be healthy. Be kind. Be smart.
