"Eating vegetables shrinks the brain"...

I would love to see the relationship between being a member of PETA and IQ scores.

It would be more accurate to say “Not eating meat shrinks brains”. Nothing complements a vegetarian meal like a big side-dish of meat.

This is your brain:

This is your brain on vegetables:

Any questions?

Guys, let them eat...

I remember awhile ago, I was arguing w/ the biology teacher about people being born vegetarians. He finally suggested me to go and to look at my teeth at the mirror - are those teeth of the predator or not. The argument ended.

Maybe PETA guys have no teeth... could explain.

I guess you haven’t seen the Penn & Teller video series on PETA...

it does a really good job of correlating PETA membership with IQ.

hint: negative correlation

This BS has been covered yesterday. Veggies do not shrink your brain, Vitamin B12 deficiency does. And meat is but one source of B12.

also have you ever noticed that carnivores are muscular and fast like tigers, lions, hawks, coyotes and sharks while herbivores are often slow and chubby like cows, geese, sloths, panda bears and hippos

Did my veggie shopping this afternoon - one case of long-neck hops, bag of chips, one corn-fed T-bone and two cigars. My food pyramid is covered.

When someone finally grows chocolate broccoli, I’ll make vegetarian fudge.

Well, I don’t have this problem. For me, being a vegetarian is about saying YES to things, things like meat. The best vetarian’s love tasty creatures. Pork, Beef, Venison, Buffalo, Rabbit, Lamb- if you are what you eat, then all those tasty critters are the veggies they eat. :->

That article is horribly written. It refers to "the vitamin" before saying what specific vitamin it is referring to.

I am a vegetarian but I take a Flintstones (because they taste good) vitamin every day so I get enough B12.

“Eating vegetables shrinks the brain”...
“Vegans and vegetarians are the most likely to be deficient...”

Did you hear that Fred Grandy!!!

Does it shrink anything else, too?

Well, this settles one of my unanswered questions. Which comes first, vegetarianism or stupidity?

Shrinking brains, big deal. If you want to get people’s attention, post an article on which foods shrink the penis.
