Sprout-eating lefties have small brains

They used to be called "vegetarians." They call themselves "vegans." Or maybe there's a difference. I don't know.

Now, I always thought Vegans were inhabitants of the Vega Colony. Either way, they're not of this planet.

"Vegetarian," by the way, is Latin for "bad hunter."

What brings this up?

There's a story out tonight that folks that don't eat meat -- that just eat vegetables -- have smaller brains:

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.


Let's see: Sprout-eating lefties support Barack Obama. Sprout-eating lefties have smaller brains.

It fits.
