There have also been correlations that a vegetarian diet increases the odds of having a girl. That effect even held true for upper class white vegetarians in England. Perhaps the link is lack of meat to lack of boys. The poor are more likely to be vegetarian because they can’t afford animal protien.

I’m with you. Diet seems to be the most likely variable which would account for this, assuming of course that their recitation of the data is accurate.
