I have a hard time drawing the conclusion that eating a vegetarian diet directly decreases quality of life. Participants who ate less meat also had poorer health practices, such as avoiding attending doctors appointments for preventative check-ups and measures such as vaccines, the authors found. Perhaps this means that vegetarians, on average, overestimate the benefits of vegetarianism, and thus decrease their health by taking fewer vaccines.
