Mistaking cause and effect, perhaps?
There is also the possibility that those who chose vegetarianism had a high correlation with drug abuse, that could also cause decreased brain function?

Your quotations says something to the effect that “lack of year round plant sources of
Vitamin B-12....” from what I understand NO plants make
Vitamin B-12 (unless you count some bacteria as “plants”)...
P.S. why didn’t we evolve a method to synthesize B12? We had
to evolve other biochemical pathways to process meat. We
certainly could evolve B12 synthesis. No? Wouldn’t that
have had greater survival value than having to hunt or
eat insects or fauna? And wouldn’t it have been less
costly biologically or survival wise? Or did early primates have to
ability to do that, and lose it when meat was available in
mass quantities?

Seriously, though, diet was a major technique for keeping recruits in cults and some communes. A high carb, low protein diet with minimal vitamins makes your group easier to control since they won't be thinking as well as the meat-eating cult leaders.
Civilizations do this too
The Mayan honchos did this
Kept this masses on mostly vegetarian low protein diets as in plenty of corn and some beans.... prolly scrounged lots of insects too
I call them slave diets
Mayan honchos and blood splattered (from human sacrifice) priests had lots of animal based protein

I’m 35 and have never eaten meat in my life (raised that way). I’m 6’2”, muscular/athletic, did great in school, and now work a 6 figure income job. (Not to brag, just making a point) Why?
This article is sensationalist CRAP. It’s EASY to get non-meat sources of B12.

Student Leaves Ham Sandwich on Lunch Table Near Muslims, Suspended for Hate Crime Somali Muslim Students Highly Offended, Scarred for Life A middle school student in Lewiston, Maine is being investigated by the police for a possible hate crime after he placed a bag containing a ham sandwich on a table where Somali students eat lunch. According to the schools superintendent, Leon Levesque, the student has been suspended, and more disciplinary action could follow pending the outcome of the investigation. http://doctorbulldog.wordpress.com/2007/04/25/ham-is-not-a-toy/

:P He tried a vegetarian diet the last year of his life.
He made no discoveries nor did any science.
He died after a year of the diet.
Not a good recommendation.

servantoftheservant said:
"Its EASY to get non-meat sources of B12." Perhaps the point of the article is that it is not easy to get B12 without going to some additional trouble to examine one's diet.
What is the source of the "non-meat" B12?

That picture might have had some value as humor had not Einstein himself been a vegetarian. That little tidbit just makes the creator look like an ill-informed moron.

Well, I do eat meat, although not as much as I used to because of this whole middle-aged triglyceride and cholesterol thing. What I don’t get is the animosity towards those who don’t eat meat. My own daughter is a lacto-ovo vegetarian, and I know for sure she doesn’t deserve this kind of scorn.

What is the source of the "non-meat" B12? Dairy products (I'm not vegan) and brewer's yeast. About 1 tbsp/day of brewer's yeast will do it. Just sprinkle it on toast or whatever else you're eating.

He did not make any discoveries nor do any real science at that time. So I'm not so sure...
