don't go green

it'll shrink your brain:
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.
noticed by vodkapundit, who somehow failed to mention the part that:
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.

Hitler was a vegetarian.

As was my 9th grade health teacher.

And that's really all I have to say on the matter.
