Brahmins in India. Strictly, never touch animal food. Go to any veda schools in India, they can recite whole Vedas on their tongue, modern fools eating animals will never even able to pronounce it properly.

    People who practice Jainism, never touch meat in their whole life. They even avoid certain foods like Onions, Garlic etc. There are more. Why are you asking? Meat is not required as food. Period.

      At the article is making similar claims about vegetarians as vegans (a matter of degree rather than boolean, both “having less DHA” than omnivores), I don’t believe it’s important to make the distinction when criticising it either.

  Your argument for why Brahmins are smart and other people aren't is that they have memorized and can recite a body of text? Call me crazy, but I don't consider rote memorization to be a sign of intelligence.

    I'm not sure why you're making a distinction. Also i'm sure there will be a lot of vegans or pretty close.

      I think people are forgetting about breast feeding. I have an uncle who keeps saying he was fed breast milk till he was 5. He has athletic body and worked as gym instructor majority of his life. Our family doctor once said, the iron we get from breast feeding during childhood is never equal when we use any external supplements in later stages of life.
