I’ll Take On Any Vegetarian!

I guess when you need a pick me up for your self-esteem and to justify your murder of innocent plants that can’t even attempt to run away you have to make crap like this up:

Frequently dismissed as cranks, their fussy eating habits tend to make them unpopular with dinner party hosts and guests alike.

But now it seems they may have the last laugh, with research showing vegetarians are more intelligent than their meat-eating friends.

A study of thousands of men and women revealed that those who stick to a vegetarian diet have IQs that are around five points higher than those who regularly eat meat.

Writing in the British Medical Journal, the researchers say it isn’t clear why veggies are brainier - but admit the fruit and veg-rich vegetarian diet could somehow boost brain power.

AH! But there is MORE! Turns out that veggies are NOT really brain food!

The typical adult veggie had a childhood IQ of around 105 - around five points higher than those who continued to eat meat as they grew up.

The vegetarians were also more likely to have gained degrees and hold down high-powered jobs.

There was no difference in IQ between strict vegetarians and those who classed themselves as veggie but still ate fish or chicken.

However, vegans - vegetarians who also avoid dairy products - scored significantly lower, averaging an IQ score of 95 at the age of 10.

I love how in order to try and prove something we have to create classes of “vegetarians”. If you eat meat (at all) you are NOT “vegetarian”. Vegans are true vegetarians. Everyone else is just wannabes and pretenders who want to claim to be vegetarians but aren’t. But it makes them feel better about themselves.

But that’s ok. I’ve been tested for IQ several times and I dwarf the average “adult veggie” according to this survey. It’s not even close and I eat tons of red meat. Give me a cow, a fish, a chicken or a pig … anything else is just garnish. And slap a vegetarian on the the side and I’ll eat them too.
