Smart Kids may possibly become Vegetarians

kids.jpgTen-year-olds with higher IQ scores may be more likely to be vegetarians at age 30. That’s what British researchers say, including Catherinr Gale, Ph D. a senior researcher at Englands University of Southhampton. They studied 8,170 men and women who were born in the U.K. in 1970. Participants took an I.Q. test when they were ten years old. Twenty years later, they were asked whether they were currently vegetarians, 366 said they were. Those with the higher I.Q. scores were more likely to be vegetarians at age 30. The difference in I.Q. points was about five. Though there was no difference in IQ score between strict vegetarians and the vegetarians who ate fish or chicken. The findings, published online by the British Medical Journal, were consistent with other studies showing people who are more intelligent eat a healthier diet and exercise more. I’m not sure how useful this study really is, all I can say is Vegetarianism resolves a conscientious person's inner turf war by providing an edible complex of good-deed-doing: to go veggie is to be more humane. Giving up meat means saving lives!

So, how about it? Should we all become vegetarians? Not just teens but also infants, oldsters, athletes—everyone?
