This may explain why so many vegans are liberals...

I was going to post this exact article, and much the same comment, when the FR servers went all flaky.

Well done, I say to you again, sir!

Cheers!

I figured that going vegan would make you stupid.

Just too many vegan liberals....

I'm 42 and have normal blood pressure and cholesterol and no heart problems, even though everyone else in my family is on high blood pressure meds, and I've never eaten green vegetables. I mentioned this to a doctor I knew, and she wasn't phased at all, and said that she had even seen cases where people like me actually got sick when they tried changing their diets.

I have no idea what any of this means, but I don't like veggies and I ain't eatin' em!

I guess it’s true that we are what we eat.

Ironically, it is because we eat meat that we are intelligent.

According to evolutionists, if you believe them, we’d still be swinging from the trees or hobbling along on two feet if we hadn’t made the switch from all plants to both plants and meat.

A larger brain requires a very high calorie source of food that plants can’t provide. Our brains consume a great deal of energy.

It's called "the food chain".

Humans are on the top of it.

Deal with it!

Mankind didn't climb all the way to the top of it just to eat vegetables!

Vegan must be an old Indian word for "bad hunter"....

WTF? Beer does less damage than wine according to a study in Alcohol and Alcoholism.

Researchers found that the hippocampus-the part of the brain that stores memories - was 10% smaller in beer drinkers than those who stuck to wine.

Lazy writer.

Ok, so is it beer or wine that makes my brain smaller. And is there an alcoholic beverage that makes other organs larger...?
