Vegetarians are smarter - Discuss

[Beowulf]

I love that quote.. almost as good as ...

Two cannibals eating a clown.. one turns to the other and asks
"Does this taste funny to you?"

I win !! Barry baiting is our new pastime

New? It's a great pastime - don't get me wrong, but I'm not sure what's so new about it

If one was to compare Burger, Sausage, Chicken Nugget and Turkey Twizzler consumers, against, fillet steak, Organic Chicken and M&S's finest lamb chop consumers, I think one would find a difference in smartness/intellect there too!

[Beowulf]

I know that after a late night and an early morning forget there being vegetarians being smarter than me.. there are VEGETABLES with more cognitive power than me.

Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is to be outsmarted by the contents of your fridge..

If I don't get my sleep I reduce my mental powers to that of a rock. And no amount of vegetables and fruit are going to make me any smarter until I've had my first coffee and woken up.

*thinks* Hmm.. Coffee's a berry isn't it.. (not Technically a bean.. even though they are called such) and beans and berries are plants. And I know i get smarter after a coffee... hmm.. perhaps *shakes head* it's a silly idea.

You were watching QI last night as well then??

Given that the universe is infinite (or at least, its quite big), then its fair to assume that somewhere in the universe there exist clever carrots, brainy broccoli and smart celery.

The contents of our plates could well be the cousins of dominant life forms somewhere in the Universe, who could be munching their way through people just like us. If that doesn't shock you enough, consider that those people might even be dancers. If you want proof, check out the film 'Day of the Triffids'.

I see being a vegetarian as 'Life-form Discrimination', and feel that it is appropriate to eat all kinds of other life forms, on the basis that we are all born, hatched or grown equal. Unless the food had more than four legs when it was alive, or it looks like it has been re-gurgitated. Also, there is something very Satanic about Mayonnaise.

How do I know all this?

Steven Hawking told me and he's right clever.

It's not vegetarians that I'm worried about ... they only eat vegetables.

However, I'm terrified of humanitarians!!!

A few arguments for vegetarianism torn to shreds...

Why vegetarians should be force fed with lard.


(I know Straycat mentioned this earlier, but I think it's worth repeating.)

[Dreadful Scathe]

Could this be the perfect thread in which to resurrect this old link?

Or would that be a bad thing for me to do?

great site, very funny

Am not a veggie but anyone who tried for force feed me anything, Lard, spouts , even chocolate... anything had better learn to type with their nose as I'd be having fingers for dinner that night.

Just as an interesting side note.. The original link on the BBC website said that Veggies were smarter than Meaties because they don't eat meat.. how ever playing devils advocate I found this link on the BBC website (while researching something else) that states that Creatine makes people smarter.. and of course, the main source of creatine? ... Meat of course

Apparently Creatine makes you stink though.. mind you from what I remember of my past vegetarian life.. so does being a Vegetarian

So taking both articles and extrapolating the information from them it seems it doesn't matter what you eat.. you'll be as smart as you can be.. and smell bad when you F**t.. hmm No **** Sherlock !!

[Barry Shnikov]

According to THIS story on the BBC website Vegetarians are smarter on average than "meaties"

now, does this mean they are smarter because they're vegetarian or vegetarian because they are smarter

I am not a vegetarian.

Today I am wearing a tasty charcoal pin-stripe woollen suit with cream silk lining, polished black brogues, and a lavender shirt with a contrasting lavender tie. You cannot get smarter than me.

There is? I love mayonnaise.It might explain a lot about behaviour after indulging in it [especially with chips.].is it like Jekyll and Hyde type thing or do you just become very naughty and devillish?
