A study published by a team of researchers at Southampton University a couple of months ago found a link between a high IQ and being vegetarian. Among the 8,000+ participants in the study, those who were vegetarian by the age of 30 had IQ scores five points above the average.
Other findings in the study show that vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher occupational social class, and to have higher academic qualifications than non-vegetarians.
Vegetarians, on average, also experience lower rates of heart disease and obesity. So not only are we smarter, we're healthier too. And we're really hot to boot. No study is required to confirm that fact!
If that isn't a good enough reason to give up your Big Macs and fried chicken, you may want to check out this article. I read it about three years ago and it influenced me to switch to a vegetarian diet. Read it and form your own opinions on the issue. Feel free to share those opinions on this blog!

Vegetarian except, of course, for some whole fried crab :)
Darn it, I was hoping that you wouldn't remember that unfortunate dare that went a little too far. For the record, it tasted gross. I don't recommend it.
Yeah, poor judgment on your part. Fried crab wasn't very good.
H
Yeah, well, who decided to order it to begin with? Wasn't me!
