I know that higher IQ people tend to be happier and less stressed out
and therefore dont have to have 'outlets' in food 9 and non veg tend to
be tasty thus compensating for higher stress).

My own example. there was this one time when I was working in this high
pressure, really stressed envrionment and we used to go for great
lunches just ti destress. One day a friend says we've been living too
rich and why not cut down on the meat and go veg. i say ok only to find
at lunch time, I back to eating meat because it was the only joy I got
from a working day.

Another example. I follow my mother to India to her native place, a
remote, rustic village where nothing much happens- and there's no meat!
I didnt miss it at all! ( an occassional egg now and again). No stress,
no need for compensation, no need for tasty diet, no need for meat.
