Science proves that Vegans and vegetarians have tiny brains.

[ParticleReality]

MELBOURNE: Scientists have discovered that going veggie could be bad for your brain-with those on a meat-free diet six times more likely to suffer brain shrinkage.

Vegans and vegetarians are the most likely to be deficient because the best sources of the vitamin are meat, particularly liver, milk and fish. Vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause anaemia and inflammation of the nervous system. Yeast extracts are one of the few vegetarian foods which provide good levels of the vitamin.

The link was discovered by Oxford University scientists who used memory tests, physical checks and brain scans to examine 107 people between the ages of 61 and 87.

When the volunteers were retested five years later the medics found those with the lowest levels of vitamin B12 were also the most likely to have brain shrinkage. It confirms earlier research showing a link between brain atrophy and low levels of B12.

Brain scans of more than 1,800 people found that people who downed 14 drinks or more a week had 1.6% more brain shrinkage than teetotallers. Women in their seventies were the most at risk.

Beer does less damage than wine according to a study in Alcohol and Alcoholism.

Researchers found that the hippocampus-the part of the brain that stores memories - was 10% smaller in beer drinkers than those who stuck to wine.

And being overweight or obese is linked to brain loss, Swedish researchers discovered. Scans of around 300 women found that those with brain shrink had an average body mass index of 27 And for every one point increase in their BMI the loss rose by 13 to 16%.

Can't go against what Science proves. After all Science is like God only useful.

Would this news release in any way be pushed by the meat producing councils of the world? If I learned anything from editing PR rolls (to be submitted to news stations) for a certain production council, it'd be that science produces relative results, depending on who presents the findings.

We already knew they were stupid when they started passing up Steaks.

Especially people who don't use A-1 sauce.

A-1

[Flannel Boy]

B12 is the key, and not meat, fish and milk. So vegans who take supplements should be fine.

[MrAngryFace]

Soy is supposedly bad for the brain over time.

[Tauntaun]

A1 sauce is terrible.  You might as well be vegans.

i like your friends.   :'(

i need to kick these angst ridden elitists to the curb.  (but i still like them) 

[Positive Touch]

you know what would be great?  if companies that made food that was targeted towards vegans/vegetarians would put b12 into their products?  OH WAIT THEY ALREADY STARTED DOING THIS YEARS AGO

can we please stop acting like non-meat eaters are all vitamin deficient and all meat eaters are paragons of good health?

[The Fake Shemp]

My roommate and good friend that I toured Las Vegas with is a vegan.  And he's as nice as you can be.  He'll eat meals with me, even if I get like chili dogs.

Do you eat it viciously when he's with you and laugh at the poor animal (or fake products) that made that phalanx food object? 

[Positive Touch]

I have never gotten the obsession some people have with what other people eat,.

it is hands down the worst part of being a vegan

[Flannel Boy]

He is probably secretly laughing because Willco is eating hog assholes and illegal immigrants in that dog.

great, now they're taking away jobs from raccoons and squirrels.

my vegan couple friends ate some egg rolls we cooked up at a party.  i had assumed the filling wasn't made of anything meat related since they were spring rolls so i said it was okay.  later come to find out my wife had used chicken broth to cook the veggies.

they said those were the best spring rolls they've ever tasted.

i wonder.

Don't tell them though. They'll go on some long colonic cleansing regiment and disown you.

I'm reminded of the Seinfeld episode. That's awesome

You totally should have told them about it then, as they're crying bitter tears over a couple of dead chickens you come out with an axe and be like, "TIME TO DIE LIKE THE ANIMALS YOU MURDERED TONIGHT!"  They totally will accept this because they're pussy vegans and after you chop off their heads you take them to the bath tub and incinerate them with a flame thrower (you learned how to build one from teh intarwebz) and then you and your wife make sexy time on their dead ashes then pee on the ashes and wash them down the drain. 

Slowly but surely all your vegan friends disappear until one of them catches on and decides to investigate.  When he finds out your evil deeds he plans to beat you both up but his muscles are weak from lack of meat protein and your wife takes him out by herself while you're both laughing maniacally and the poor vegan cries bitter tears for teh animals.  Right before you deliver the final blow you stuff a dead rat in his mouth and say "you dirty rat."  The last thing he sees is a hammer smashing his face. 

Several months later you both are arrested on suspicion of the murders of all your vegan friends as you two are a link to all the people murdered and spend the rest of your lives in jail.

That's what the official records say but really McCain/Palin release you and your wife on the condition that you two hunt down turrists in the ME.  You two rise to the top of the charts as the black ops top assassin team and in 2210 they make a manga and anime about you two as propaganda for Empress Palin. 

She has McCain murdered in 2010 and turns the US into her own playground, soon after, the world.  In 2030 she is put into her "immortal" body and reigns for hundreds of years until she is brought down by a group of resistance fighters known only as "hyp".

The resistance group "hyp" is actually you and Mrs. Hyp.  After Palin takes over the world in 2018 she starts to eliminate her top assassins and you and the missus were thought to have been taken out in an explosion but because of your leet assassin skills and the massive amounts of meat you both eat, you survived. 

When you learned of the "immortal" body project from friends on the inside you steal some specs and have some resistance fighter/doctors make you each one in 2035.  You then hide out for two hundred years and strike Palin at her weakest, when she thinks she's invincible.  It's a bloody fight (as Palin has take tons of martial arts over the years to learn self defense) but you two are victorious, though badly wounded, and are made Emperor and Empress of the world after you release the information of what really happened over two hundred years ago.

by amazing coincidence i realized that i've eaten all vegetarian this week without even trying.

[Brehvolution]

but oh boy: "how DARE they not offer anything with meat in it, how DARE they!". the many times i've heard closed-minded cavemen outraged about an "incomplete menu"... and the hatred for vegetarians some of them like to put on display. ten times worse than any vegan or vegeterian trying to defend his beliefs.

Try serving meat only dishes with vegians around and you'll hear the same shit.

[Reb]

I know "vegetarians" who eat fish. smh

[Brehvolution]

I know it goes both way Jarosh. I  saw it first hand my way at a wedding reception my wife and I were at. But i agree with you that meat eaters can eat veggies.
