Kids With High IQs Grow Up to Be Vegetarians

If we do nto kill animals fo feeding humans, there will be a food shortage, further the chain of food will be altered and may lead to total change in ecological balance.

I have, and find nothing wrong with it. Interesting, but I have read before, and it is common sense, or it should be, that environments that are more nurturing, safe, and enrichhed with educational materials and nutrition that provide for optimal health, are going to influence IQ. Yes, and that whole mix of environmental factors that lead a child to have a high IQ by age 10 are precursors to them choosing to become vegetarian later in life. I have no problem with building blocks leading further back.

Agreed. I myself find it interesting that this study proved the relation between ones environment and and their IQ. IQ is so often equated as something one is born with and cannot be changed that it makes this study, in my opinion, not just interesting, but an essential read for those who think they may know what defines a persons IQ.

I dont think IQ has any relation with the veg/non-veg aspect of the fooding habits.

I agree. I was relatively smart at a young age and I like meat, a lot. Other people I know that have received very high grades throughout middle and high school like meat too.

I doubt intelligence has anything to do with being a vegetarian.

With the growth of IQ the child matures and thinks more. Then he realizes the pain suffered by the animals being slaughtered. This leads him to become a veggie.

Absolutely right on target. the more the IQ the more a child is inclined toward becoming a veggie.

The higher IQ one has, the more they understand their body and its nutritional needs based on individual power output and use, as is the rule of logic.

Not everyone can be a vegetarian, not everyone wants to be a vegetarian, not everyone could live equally as a vegetarian to the way they do on a diet including meat.

IQ and Vegetarianism has no direct cause and effect relationship, other than based on the concept of how people tend to eat more according to their needs as they are more informed about how their body works, and then make choices to fit them, individually.

Every living thing on this planet consumes other living things to survive.. Whatever they eat.. meat, fish, or veggies & other protein.. those that don't get proper nutrition are likely to have less mental ability..

I think as a person matures & gains wisdom.. one is likely to discriminate where diet is concerned.. so possibly the image of healthier & more educated people = vegetarian/vegan..??

I prefer veggies..

[Osborn F Enready]

I like both meat and veggies, for different reasons including how they act and what they provide when consumed and digested in my body.

Veg / Non-Veg - the foood chain as envisaged by nature will continue for ever. Any person is veg or non-veg by choice, may be somtimes as a young person is infulenced by the eating habits of his parents.

Kids with high IQ's grow up to be vegetarians?...nonsense.
The 2 smartest guys i know, both have phd's ones a memeber of mensa, i have never seen them eat vegtables except potatoes and only then as fries, and the only smart vegetarian that i know....well lets just say it's more of a fashion statement for her than any moral choice.

Einstein grew up and became a vegetarian.

Ha!

Case in point. I would agree that one who has a higher knowledge of their body and what they consume is going to be much more likely to take those things into consideration when eating. Does that mean one has to be vegetarian? Certainly not, however, one who is also educated in the risks of modern day meat consumption may feel compelled on that alone to tend towards a more vegetarian diet, even if not entirely.

[StrongHeartsWin]

All good and reasonable, Heather.

I threw up my Einstein bit, wondering if ZeMcBam was going to use his anecdotal story about his flesh eating friends being smarter than Albert.

That has about as much merit as the relationship between IQs and vegetarians.

I know a chinese guy who can do a rubik cube blindfolded. He eats twice as much meat as i do .

A more vegetarian diet is not more healthy than a normal diet though. If it is purely for health reasons then you would eat fish at least once a week for the omega 3 fatty acids and regularly have meat. Chicken is a good source of Vitamin B6 and Phosphorus, and a very good source of Protein, Niacin and Selenium.

I was pointing out that with the way the meat industry currently operates, it poses many potential dangers for the consumer. Take for example mad cow disease, saminela, etc. This is not to mention the hormones and antibiotics that one consumes into their own body when eating the meat of animals raised in this way.

I would not deny that meat certainly has is nutritional advantages, however, if one pays attention to their diet, they will do well on a vegetarian diet without being at risk to the numerous dangers of meat consumption.

Hmm... that's an interesting point, never thought of that.

eating meat is no guarantee of a person having a high IQ and so it the reverse.
