Are vegetarians actually smarter?

Rachel Martinez11 said:Alright man, you’re honestly starting to get a bit repetitive with these accusations! I haven't seen anyone actually pointing fingers at you just because you eat meat. And look, I really hope you aren't expecting people on this forum who see things differently to apologize just for sharing their own perspectives. Just relax a little and enjoy the debate—it's all part of the fun! If it's getting to you too much, maybe take a breather.

What do you mean "how is it not"? Am I supposedly unintelligent just because I eat meat and stuff... I'm not even asking for apologies here.🙄

There isn't even an indication. It’s just something people have conjured up in their minds because they desperately want it to be true. Pure self-delusion, nothing more.

It's a widespread phenomenon, so I suppose it isn't surprising...

Rachel Martinez11 said:I honestly feel like you’d need at least seven more people to hook up with you just to get a decent sample size of the intelligence levels within the general vegetarian population. Especially since there seems to be such a tight link between casual dating and intellect.

Well, here's my take: I think we actually need meat-eaters around. If everyone turned vegetarian and we all became geniuses, how would we even know how smart we really are?🙂

Exactly! 👏 👏

Yeah, exactly... that's the idea. 🙂Someone has to flip the light switch so we can finally realize we've been sitting here squatting in the dark the whole time.
I can get behind the notion that vegetarians might have a different kind of perception—that they might even be more spiritually tuned in (even if I don't really buy into that right now)—but if they were, maybe they’d show a bit more tolerance toward us meat-eaters, since we haven't quite reached that level yet... 😛

Since you're such a smart guy, why don't you explain to me why that isn't the case?😲

I think you might have misread the situation—that little smiley icon in the middle is actually a vegetarian telling this leftist guy he can't eat meat; he's basically giving him a stern "no-no" while scowling.

But my grandma is really struggling right now, almost at death's door, and having a good meal with some meat together just means the world to her.

I'm actually curious—amongst the Inuit, who are some of the smartest people out there—do they actually have vegetarians?🙄

Vegan? 😕 Not even in my wildest dreams. If there isn't a massive steak or some pork (actually, give me wild game any day) sitting on my plate, I’m honestly not even going to bother eating. What am I supposed to fill up on? Some bland, tasteless greens? No thanks. Honestly, I feel like vegans are kind of like gay guys to me—it's not my business as long as they aren't telling me how to live my life.

As long as there are gay people and vegans out there, there's more meat and poultry available for the rest of us 😁

briskgull27 said:I’d love to pose a question here for all the vegetarians out there to weigh in on:

Is there a connection between dietary habits and the population size of Chinese people and Indian people?
In other words, does a vegetarian diet actually drive higher birth rates?

My brother is a vegetarian, and honestly, he's incredibly attractive and has that bold, confident masculine energy.
But I'm genuinely curious about this link to birth rates.
