Lately, a study has put forward a view that states that children with higher IQ are more pronounced to become vegetarians by the time they reach the age of thirty.
The survey was based over a group of men and women who were more than thirty years of age and it concluded that those who were vegetarians had, on an average, a childhood IQ score 5 points higher than their meat-eating counterparts.
Researchers said to some degree, the findings were related to better education and higher occupational social class, but it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.
Liz O’Neill, of the Vegetarian Society, said,
‘We’ve always known that vegetarianism is an intelligent, compassionate choice benefiting animals, people and the environment. Now we’ve got the scientific evidence to prove it. Maybe that explains why many meat-reducers are keen to call themselves vegetarians when even they must know that vegetarians don’t eat chicken, turkey or fish.’
