Not very, IMHO. Look up Romans 14:1-4. Vegetarianism is referenced in that passage (although it isn't the main point of the passage) as being distinctly not a moral issue. St. Paul does denigrate vegetarianism in a way, saying that such people are weak in faith, but makes it very clear that God accepts you whether you eat animals or plants or both.

The main point of the passage is that people of good virtue should not waste their energy disputing things that have no moral significance. I know many people on this site will take exception with Paul's choice of vegetarians as an example, but to understand the point better, you can substitute a whole host of other issues (table vs. booth or window vs. aisle seating for example) and still come out with the same basic meaning. Either way, a web site purporting itself to be a Christian site should not be posting material denouncing people for the way they eat or supporting a particular diet.
