That being said, vegetarianism doesn't really fit in to the theme of the game. You eat what you find in order to survive. People of long ago didn't have the luxury of choosing, and if they did we'd surely have been extinct by now.
A similar connection exists between IQ and sense of humor, I believe.

If people had the luxury of choosing we would be extinct? You make no sense.

That's just putting the cart before the horse. All this proves is that higher intelligence makes you more likely to be vegetarian (presumably because smart people are more likely to even think about the environment etc.), not that being vegetarian makes you have higher intelligence.

Anyway, purely carnivorous diet has it's benefits too, and it's certainly viable. Relevant link.

What kind of bullshit is that...

High IQ =/= 105~

Edit: The average IQ of a Dutch person is 115 ~_~
