Nice article to tack on with my recipe request: the BBC is reporting
today that folks with high recorded IQs are likely to become
vegetarian.  It's being smart that makes you a veggie, not being a
veggie that makes you smart:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6180753.stm

"Men who were vegetarian had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for
non-vegetarians; while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with
99 for non-vegetarians. "

Building a better work through broccoli, yes indeedy do.
