It's smart to not eat animals.

Yes folks, it seems that THIS ARTICLE concludes what I've long suspected - Smart people don't eat meat. Yep, it's true. And you would think it's enough that eating animals contributes to the suffering of thousands of innocent earthlings. But they actually make all kinds of correlations with something called "statistics". These "statistics" indicate that higher IQ scores in youngsters turn into higher percentages of vegetarians as they get to adulthood. But it is true that any study could be interpreted in a variety of ways and have doubt cast on its validity. Thats why I have always believed that educating yourself about the topic is the most likely motivation that people have for choosing not to eat animals.

But if someone wants to do a study to tell me that my fellow veggies are smart, then so be it! Although, I'd rather not be in the class of 'smart' people that identify themselves as vegetarians that eat fish or chicken sometimes. That's where this whole "IQ" thing kind of breaks down.

The overall tone, the up-swing, the bright side though is that the researchers, and doctors agree that eating a vegetarian/vegan diet is wise, regardless of the reason you get there.
