Our second shipment from Green Earth Organics came this week, and we were much happier with the quality. Nothing slimy or wilted; in fact, everything looks a lot better than I’d normally expect in local grocery stores. Our fridge is now loaded down with quality fruit & vegetables. Nellie has pictures that she plans to upload to prove to our mothers that we actually are eating well.

Speaking of vegetables, Dino sent me a link to this article:
Ten-year-olds with higher IQ scores may be more likely to be vegetarians at age 30.
So say British researchers including Catharine Gale, PhD, a senior research fellow at England’s University of Southampton.
I have a question for the 123 people who called themselves “vegetarians” despite eating chicken and fish though: what do you think the word means?
Hmmm…I just re-read my segue. Dino, I wasn’t calling you a vegetable, I swear.

On that IQ/vegetarian thing: there are obviously a lot of complicating factors that make that correlation interesting. For example, I wouldn’t be surprised if IQ and income also directly correlate, or IQ and higher education. And I bet income and vegetarianism directly correlate, as do higher education and vegetarianism. It’s quite likely that more educational exposure results in more people choosing vegetarianism. I’d wager – perhaps more controversially – that being wealthier results in more people choosing vegetarianism, too. Just my speculation.
I’d love to see the Freakonomics guys tackle it.
