From: Immortalist on 16 Dec 2006 22:09 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. http://tinyurl.com/y6hj8h

Historical evidence is overwhelming, that it is always the more intelligent human beings who have also been those who have caused the most misery, destruction and deaths of innocent and peaceful human beings, therefore those more intelligent vegenuts are more likely to end up evil people. I only ever eat vegetarian cows sheep and chooks and sometimes fish. Long live the vegetarian animal eaters. Michael Gordge

Vegies would tend to think a bit more, but not -- in my opinion -- enough more. Any distinction between animal and vegetable is a delusion. If we were to stick with our evolutionary background then we'd eat a lot of insects. --- No essence. No permanence. No perfection.

The article demonstrates a classic example of the confusion between correlation and causation. Vegetarians make the same error in a frequently cited study of Seventh Day Adventists. |
