I would think you would see similar results for any comprehensive dietary lifestyle choice... with possible exception to [what I perceive as] fads like the Atkins diet. I think if you can still select from over 80% of the menu at over 80% of fast food restaurants in the US, choosing such a diet doesn't necessarily indicate a well-thought out choice ;-) While I'm not vegetarian myself, I don't think it would be a bad thing if the perception grew that vegetarians are smarter... because it would be better for everyone if the quality of vegetables improved in the US and worldwide (it may already be OK elsewhere). Additionally, it's fairly common knowledge that meat (as done in the US) is pretty inefficient from a resources-to-food-value standpoint.
