To a certain extent this depends on the diet of the individual in question. A healthy vegetarian diet including a wide variety of foods and minimal fatty products is definitely better for you than a regular meat-eating diet. On the other hand, if a meat-eater has a healthy diet then they are likely to be just as healthy as someone eating a regular vegetarian diet.

However, in general vegetarians tend to be much more concerned with what they eat, which also contributes to a healthier diet.

Meat-eating has been linked to several serious conditions including Diabetes, kidney stones and strokes. Vegetarian diets have less cholesterol and contain vitamins C, B-17, hydroquionenes, beta carotene, NDGA. Soybeans (a staple vegetarian food) contain protease inhibitor, a powerful anticancer compound.

People living on a vegetarian diet are more likely to suffer from deficiencies (eg iron-deficiency anemia), but the diet is fine if properly structured.

There are positives and negatives to both diets but the average vegetarian diet is healthier than the average meat-inclusive diet.
