33. Unfortunately that isn't the truth

I've been vegetarian for over 25 years. I have been overweight and met lots of vegetarians that also have been overweight.

There is lots of junk food that is vegetarian:
Various cold cereals
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mini-Chips
Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge Brownies
Airheads
Cracker Jack
Doritos (depending on the type)
Fritos
Potato Chips
Granola bars
Ritz Crackers
Wheat Thins
Chocolate Syrup
Tator Tots
Oreos
Jellos pudding
Lots of candy
etc

There are also lots of studies that show its not the case:

Results: The prevalence of overweight or obesity (BMI >/= 25) was 40% among omnivores, 29% among both semivegetarians and vegans, and 25% among lactovegetarians. In multivariate, adjusted logistic regression analyses, self-identified vegans had a significantly lower risk of overweight or obesity [odds ratio (OR) = 0.35; 95% CI: 0.18, 0.69] than did omnivores, as did lactovegetarians (OR = 0.54; 95% CI: 0.35, 0.85) and semivegetarians (OR = 0.52; 95% CI: 0.43, 0.62). Risk of overweight or obesity remained significantly lower among lactovegetarians classified on the basis of the food-frequency questionnaire (OR = 0.48; 95% CI: 0.30, 0.78).
