Vegetarian Kids Have High IQs

 

This is a quotation from THE FOOD REVOLUTION, HOW YOUR DIET CAN HELP SAVE

YOUR LIFE AND OUR WORLD, by John Robbins. Berkeley, Conari Press, 2001. Page

85:

 

" One of the meat industry's most tenaciously held tenets is that children

must eat meat in order to have proper brain development. 'Consuming two to

three servings a day from the Meat Group,' says the National Live Stock and

Meat Board, 'is important...to achieve cognitive function.' (footnote 13)

This is a remarkable statement, especially when compared to the scientific

data. According to the research published in the JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN

DIETETIC ASSOCIATION and elsewhere, the average IQ of U.S. children is 99,

while the average I.Q. of vegetarian U.S. children is 116. " (footnote 14)
