(snicker) This would explain alot about the hard Left. (giggle)

Seriously, its a small sample and I'm not so sure about the conclusions they make but, it is funny to read.

Misleading headline: should be “Eating nothing but veggies shrinks the brain unless you supplement vitamin B12”.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause anaemia and inflammation of the nervous system. Yeast extracts are one of the few vegetarian foods which provide good levels of the vitamin.

So I can cover my cereal group, vegetable group (hops) and Vitamin B12 (yeast) by drinking a can of beer?

This is backwards. Shrunken brains is the cause of vegetarianism.

I find it easier to think with a shrunken brain. The total transit time of an idea from one end to another is shorter with a smaller brain, meaning I can fit in more thoughts per day.

Seriously, though, diet was a major technique for keeping recruits in cults and some communes. A high carb, low protein diet with minimal vitamins makes your group easier to control since they won't be thinking as well as the meat-eating cult leaders.

Which is probably why the UN promotes a vegan diet for the entire planet.

Yes, the idea is funny as it compares to the Far Left. :-)

As for the study’s conclusions, though, I wonder if all those test subjects with low vitamin B12 levels were vegans or vegetarians? Some people cannot process B12 well, no matter what they eat, and have naturally low levels.

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.

Back to back sentences that seem to contradict each other.

Naked vegans.

Vegansexuals Refuse Intimacies With Normal People The latest fad in moonbat-friendly New Zealand is vegansexuality, whereby vegans punish normal people by refusing to have sex with them.

Explained one Christchurch vegan:

I believe we are what we consume, so I really struggle with bodily fluids, especially sexually.

Another elaborated:

I would not want to be intimate with someone whose body is literally made up from the bodies of others who have died for their sustenance.

Chirped a third:

When you are vegan or vegetarian, you are very aware that when people eat a meaty diet, they are kind of a graveyard for animals.

Given the sickly appearance that results from vegans' abnormal diet, it's doubtful they get many opportunities to turn non-vegans down. http://www.moonbattery.com/archives/2007/07/

I’m 35 and have never eaten meat in my life (raised that way). I’m 6’2”, muscular/athletic, did great in school, and now work a 6 figure income job. (Not to brag, just making a point) Why?

This article is sensationalist CRAP. It’s EASY to get non-meat sources of B12.

Mom, if you are reading this I have something to say;

SEE I TOLD YOU!

Now you owe me an apology for all those hours spent alone at the table with broccoli or carrots on my plate. I was only trying to save my brain cells.
