Does being a vegetarian make you a better chess player?

@kleelof: agree, it's like certains comments here about heavy smokers bringing lawsuits against tobacco companies and demanding them millionaire compensations: "Americans are crazy". Well, is not so easy, since is proved those companies did everything they could to deny the nocive effects of tobacco for many years.

I'm noticing this only in the far west, though.
Especially ten years ago, junk food weren't this spread in Europe as is now.
Somehow, even ten years ago, the people where I live knew that if you don't know how something's made, you shouldn't eat it. 

I believe you have seen the light.

Ha!

Didn't the Chess Champion Alexander Alekhine died from choking on a piece of meat ?

I don't think so.

They're not crazy.
That is actually a pretty smart move to pull off. 

Anytime someone starts talking about the negative effects of smoking, this is the first thing I always think of:

Anyway, chess or no chess, a low or no meat diet is going to be all around better for you.

Exactly what tk wrote. I'm not gonna leave meat without a reliable source!

Yes, I think I heard that also.  Wasn't it Carlsen who said he loves broccholi?

Why? What is that happening in the pic?

I've lived in Thailand for 10 years. When I first came here, obiesity was already a recognized and growing problem. Perhaps you live someplace where you are fortunate enough to have staved off the McD's growth a little longer.

Wear sunglasses when in the garden gathering dinner.

I hate broccoli. Alekhine probably died of heavy drinking. No?

omg

I'm not sure what this means. This is the first statement I've made about my views of what a healthy diet is. My other comments just were dealing with some inaccuracies in that documentary and the message some may have taken away from it.

I love to eat at McDonalds and Burger King sometimes. But every since childhood I knew it was not healty. As someone else put it, I prefered to eat food that I knew how they were made.

You know, like chicken fried steak, fried chicken, fried fish, french fries....

Great! Now we need protein too.

Broccholi hates you.

Okie, new rule. If you can't spell it, you can't eat it.

'Broccholi' sounds like some kind of vegetable beer.

If I don't eat meat, how the **** will the amino acids come in my body?

I am a pure vegetarian ..don't eat eggs also but never felt it gives u

something of special capacity for playing chess...
