1) It is perfectly possible to have a healthy diet eating no meat.
2) Some vegetarians, especially the ones who are in it for the fad factor don't eat healthy. Just because you're vegetarian doesn't mean you're healthy.
3) Meat eaters suffer the same fate, however, if they don't have a proper diet.
4) In North America, unlike Cambodia, the average person consumes WAY more than enough protein per day. I think the average is about 2-3times the recommended amount. It is very easy to consume the proper amount of protein, including all the different types of amino acids by combining different types of proteins throughout the day. They don't have to be eaten at the same time either.
5) Just because your physique is muscular, it doesn't necessarily mean you are healthy. FIT and HEALTHY are not the same thing. I'm not saying you're not healthy, but I'm just saying we can't tell by looking at a picture.
What I would suggest, if you'd like to really help people is to change your article to say something like "HOW TO BE A HEALTHY VEGETARIAN" and include in it your research for what most vegetarians are missing, instead of saying that most vegetarians are unhealthy.
Also your quote on your website says:

Yes Mr. Pavlina I am talking to you. If you are going to spout off about Vegetarianism being healthy then have the common sense to research it and provide proper advice to people genuinely interested in their health. And YES protein is important, to thinkn otherwise is plain stupid.

I have not read anywhere on Steve's site where he says to cut out protein out of your diet. He simply advocates getting it from vegetarian sources.
6) I still eat meat, but mostly because it tastes good to me, but I fully realize that red meat is not good for me due to it's high saturated fat content.
7) You're a big guy. Don't beat me up.
