"Like it or not, Meat food is most healthy and atleast I can take it without being guilty! And I take food for survival and not for the sake of getting tasty food all the time! I do love food but stick to clean, meat food. I think some of the world's most talented ones have been meat'ies, that doesnt mean non-meaties are dumb, it just means eating non-meat just doesnt give taht edge over others or something....talent mostly is cultivated over a period of time. So, I dont think its related to IQ." Hmm... meat.

EDIT: I'm sorry, but I just had to do that... :blush:
I live by human's nature...meats and plants eater...and sometimes, sintesis food too...
after all, every animals live by eating other living things...vegies included...
Maybe thats why she became a vegan? :DQuote:

The article is suspect. It fails, for example, to consider the fact that intelligence is largely an inherited trait, and as a consequence, the authors should have surveyed the parents to see if the parents were vegetarians.

Hm... But even if the parents had decided to be vegetarians, that would have been an acquainted feature - which is not inherited... ;)Quote:

I'll put it this way.
I have (and wear in public) shirts that say things like "If we weren't meant to eat animals then why are they made of meat?" and "Save a cow, eat a vegetarian".
Personally, I have met enough non-vegetarians that are intelligent and vegetarians that are dumb -- so, I would tend to take statistics a bit lightly. :D
But otherwise, I don't understand how -
... A non-vegetarian can claim to be one for sake of survival? :DQuote:

(Unless of course he is in a place like Alaska or Antartica where supermarkets and vegetables are equally rare...)
I have been a vegetarian for all my life now, and not once has my eating habit seen me risk my existence... ;)
Additionally, to all those that believe that vegetarian diet may / will be lacking in proteins / amino-acids, lentils for one supplement these very well (26%) and are available in a rich variety.
I also believe that most that eat non-vegetarian food eat because they grew up with it and find it tasty.
This reason is good enough - right? ;)
Let's talk more about amino acids... I mugged them a lot in pre-college days and did pathetic in the exams.. :D However, let's see what NV have to boast about those! :D ;)
SuperKoko.. I know you are a biology student.. you are not allowed! :D ;)
There is no point in debate, there is nothing which can be proved by a nonsense talk. :)
So, stop before someone gets hurt. :D
Broad-minded people should not have their sentiments hurt with this topic... ;)
BTW, I can't help but notice that so far an overwhelming majority of those that are vegetarians come from the Indian Sub-Continent... Strange because about 50% of the Indians I know are actually non-vegetarians. Wonder why they keep away from CG... :D
