How do vegetarians get fat?

[Milwaukee Macho Man]

My friend recently got married. His wife is a vegetarian, the kind that gives you shit for eating "corpses" and insisted on the entire wedding dinner being vegitarian.

She's also really fucking fat. Like 250 pounds at least.

How the fuck does that happen?

For a lot of vegetarians, the solution to bland or unfulfilling food is to dump cheese on everything. Heaping on soy and lots of nut based products that are very high fat doesn't help.

When you eliminate meat you don't have many options left that aren't carb based. Everything plant based from fresh vegetables to grains to sugar is carb based, even if it also has a lot of protein or in the case of fresh vegetables a lot of fiber instead of digestible carbs. It's the non-fibrous carbs that make you put on weight.
