I know plenty of fat vegetarians/vegans. It seems they would not be exposed to those antibiotics.

I remember seeing a Ted Talk years ago where the speaker said that obese people have an issue with androgenesis. His theory was that it was causally linked, but I believe that was unconfirmed.

Might vegetarians still be exposed through eggs and dairy products?
Possibly, but not if they are also eating those items selectively, like organic etc. Some of the vegetarians I know are pretty selective about the treatment of the animals that those items come from. I believe they said organic standards require eggs to be produced by chickens that have some outdoor exposure instead of sitting in cages their whole lives.
