Hoorah...err..

The British Medical Journal reports that vegetarians are smarter. Apparently it's not that eating healthier improves brain power, rather its that smart people choose to be vegetarian. Strangely, 33% of the veggies surveyed ate fish or chicken. Fish I can excuse... but chicken!? Tragically though, it appears that vegans are dumber - though they base this on a sample of just 9 vegans. Apparently the authors eat a bit of meat themselves.

Moreover, veggies aren't just more clever, they are more public spirited too, working for charitable organizations and public serve institutions at a greater rate.

i like how the definition of vegetarian includes people who eat chicken, and then it is determined that smarter people are vegetarians. that's great.

i'm very smart and i'm a vegetarian. probably i threw the curve off on this one. had i not been included in the survey then i reckon they would not have found a statistically significant variation.

i'm a strict vegetarian like that guy in the outback steakhouse commercial. i eat fish, chicken, beef. sometimes lamb, bison.

Since when involvement with charitable institutions is such a sure indicator of intelligence?

Charitable institutions in Britain...
That may easily mean Amnesty International, International Solidarity Movement, Throw the Zionist Down the Well, Jihad Today and Tomorrow, Workers Against Capitalist Jews and similar others. I am weary of activist types. A majority of those I met in France and US were cuckoo when it came to the Jews.

yes, but no doubt the vegetarian charitable workers are too smart to get caught up in the anti-semitic do-gooder organizations...
