Read it again: http://tinyurl.com/y6hj8h Here's another article on the same study: http://tinyurl.com/yljk43 > Truly intelligent people seek the correct diet for their body. Right. The study looked only at vegetarians vs. non-vegetarians, but it found that the vegetarians had been more intelligent as children than the nonvegetarians.
