Are vegetarians actually smarter?

wheel said:I love the taste of meat too. But I don't eat it because my conscience is clearer that way. Here’s an analogy: I recognize there are other attractive women out there besides my wife, and I know I’d enjoy their company. But I avoid those encounters because I sleep better knowing I'm not cheating. My wife would suffer if I did, and I don't want her to suffer. It's the same with animals. I just don't want them to hurt. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if people who lack any empathy for others felt that pain themselves. It might actually help them understand the problem better.
I completely agree with this post.
To be fair, I still eat meat. I tried going vegetarian for a few months, but it didn't work out for me. My bloodwork took a dive, and my doctor basically ordered me to start eating meat again. Now, I just stick to chicken and fish... 😳
I think there might actually be some truth to those old theories about blood types...
I don't get why people feel so attacked by vegetarians. It's likely because they've been told their whole lives that eating meat is the only "normal" way to live. Not to mention the psychological toll of slaughtering animals...
