It's a fact: Vegetarians and vegans are, on average, some 10 to twenty pounds lighter than meat-eaters. So, switching to a vegetarian diet isn't just good for your health—it could leave you with some extra cash for cute souvenirs.

So true! I just went veg less than a month ago, and I've lost 10 pounds! Not to mention I'm feeling generally healthier and most importantly, CRUELTY-FREE!

Price Fielder is the All-Star 1st baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers. He went veg last year and has since lost 20 pounds.
