> 86% of vegetarians go back to eating meat because they get sick
About half of those billion people were never not-vegetarian in the first place, i.e. Indians. They are generational vegetarians, having stuck to that diet for well over 3500 years. So either you pulled that factoid out of some unsavoury orifice, or you are badly misinformed.
> Nearly all vegetarians I've seen are nearly never obese but nearly always look weak, sick and tired
Also, source?
Americans are amongst the most 'carnivorous'[1], but there is a massive obesity, heart disease, and high cholesterol problem in the US.

Here is one post about it https://www.reddit.com/r/india/comments/yaspf6/19_of_populat..., but you can easily find better references online regarding the same.
Is there somewhere in my comment that implied otherwise, so much that I got two responses saying the same thing?
As far as I understand, I only said about 500 million Indians are vegetarian, which is about 35% of India's population.
