Vegetarians - Higher IQs

your posts sounds much more biased than the study.

are you a professional researcher?

do you have any credentials in research at all??

hahah I like meat. All kinds.

one statement made me laugh. "90% of what scientists find out is refuted 10 years later." hahahaha where the heck did that one come from :)

Someone isn't very happy.

I agree with the person above, but meat can also be very expensive. It is also a good source of protein and provides vitamins and minerals that would need to be replaced by supplements.

Not all vegetarians are smart...and not all meat eaters are dumb. I am currently pulling straight-A's, and am quite intelligent. I also enjoy meat.

However, I also love animals. It is just a simple fact of life that humans are carnivorous. We have eyes set in the front of our skulls, canines for tearing meat, and nutritional requirements that are suited for a meat-and-veggie diet.

I don't eat all animals, however. I don't eat wild animals, and only try to eat high-quality meats, such as a good chicken, turkey, or a lean cut of steak. No need to get rid of it all.

When I go away to college (freedom for decisions! YEAH!) I am planning on becoming vegetarian (no meat, but fish and eggs are okay). However, as I live in a meat eating household, it would be difficult to arrange for a different diet for me.

Members of my family are quite intelligent. My mother worked at Harvard (and attended classes during her occupation), Boston College, AND Middlebury as an English major. My father attended Boston Latin School (both of my parents speak Latin), Middlebury, and graduated as a physics major. And guess what? They both eat meat.



Stand back, amigo! This is a job for...the Anti-Christ!

Like many have said in this thread; some are vegetarians are smart, some are stupid, likewise with meat-eaters.

I'm pro-hunting meat, but anti-farmed meat. I don't believe it's right to raise an animal from birth, nuture and care for it, and then kill it. Whether you like it or not, the animal will develop a trust in you; not to mention they have zero chance of escaping that fate. I find the slaughter of domestic animals to be disturbing and unnatural.
Hunting is a part of nature, however, many animals do it and it is perfectly natural for a human to hunt meat. It is fair too; the prey will know you are a predator, and does have a chance of escaping death.
Not to mention the conditions for farm animals these days are disgusting. If you want meat; hunt it, clean it, and prepare it yourself. Only hunters really 'deserve' to eat meat. People who can't stand the sight of blood, quiver in a slaughter-house, or are simply to fat/inactive/lazy/imcompetent to hunt have no business eating it.


"vegetarianism in childhood is extremely unhealthy!"

My dad's side of the family are Hindu, they're all vegetarian and have been vegetarian from birth. So are many Indians and Hindus.
Thanks for dissing an entire culture and people, dickhead.
Typical ignorant westerner. Maybe you should get off your privledged ass and take look around at some other cultures.
