Chronicle Letter to the Editor claiming vegetarians liveshorter lives.

[Guest guest]

I can't answer Simone's question, but I'd like to point out that the

epidemiological data shows that vegetarians live as long or longer than

nonvegetarians. Edwin Moses and Carl Lewis were/are vegetarians and I'm

pretty sure they both have a number of records to their credit.
