Vegans Mentally Impaired?

The Scary Mental Health Risks of Going Meatless | Women's Health:



My tongue is a bit in my cheek, but seriously it seems that there is a correlation -- and like all correlations, it may well not be that meat CAUSES the issues. It could be that folks that go vegan are more prone to the issues.

"Even the pros find the stats confounding in a chicken-or-egg way. "We don't know if a vegetarian diet causes depression and anxiety, or if people who are predisposed to those mental conditions gravitate toward vegetarianism," says Emily Deans, M.D., a Boston psychiatrist who studies the link between food and mood."

On the other hand ...

Without meat, we'd never have matured beyond the mental capacity of herbivores like gorillas

They didn't call them HUNTER gatherers for nothing.  The evolution people have lots of theories about how it was maybe to coordinate hunting in groups that was one of the major reasons for the  growth of the human brain, language, etc. ...



In any case, even the major "truth" that vegans are so ANXIOUS to tell you, that veganism is DEFINITELY a healthier diet, may only be true if you don't need your head for anything beyond a hat-rack



They maybe SO ANXIOUS to tell you BECAUSE they are vegan and their brain is impaired ... which is pretty much poetic irony.



HUMOR ... Question: How do you tell if someone is a vegan?



ANS: "They F**ing TELL YOU!!!"
