Interesting article, thanks for the post! Now when I call my carnivorous Ex a dummy, I have the data to back it up! ;D
Yeah, right! Thank you for sharing.
But... I was actually thinking about doing the study on something like this in social psych, but it had been already investigated.... I should find another topic, or should do the replication.
I expected to scoff, and say, "Yeah, but smarter people are more likely to make health-conscious decisions..." and then I discovered that that was the gist of the actual article. Heh, well done. ;)
Too bad you won't see this article in any mainstream press over here in the US. Perhaps "FAUX NEWS" can make it their big "story" of the day! :P ;)
Actually, Yahoo just posted it. Maybe some soccor moms can "learn" something and keep their kids away from McDonalds tonight!

And, smarter kids are more likely to be vegetarian and/or vegan:
