Your brain is made up of 75% fats. If you don't get enough fat in your diet your intelligence suffers. That's why vegetarians mostly say dumb things. They're usually lacking in other gelatinous attributes as well, such as boobs and booty. The smart ones still eat lots of butter, sour cream, and cheese to counteract this.
Irony
a vegan died on Mt. Everest from altitude sickness earlier this week. She said she was climbing everest to show that 'vegans aren't limited in anything like people say we are. We can do everything'. Shortly before the climb, there were concerns over anemia and lack of iron in her blood.
It was a tough week for Coster's team. The following day, they lost another member -- Australian citizen Maria Strydom, known by her friends and family as Marisa, who died after suffering altitude sickness.
"These tragic events numbed the whole team and our thoughts are with their family and friends. May they rest in peace," Coster said.
South African-born Strydom worked as a finance professor with the Monash Business School in Melbourne. She had told the school in
an interview that she and her husband, Robert Gropel, were climbing Everest to prove that vegans are strong.
"It seems that people have this warped idea of vegans being malnourished and weak," said Strydom, who added that she and her husband had received countless questions about their iron and protein levels.
"By climbing the seven summits we want to prove that vegans can do anything and more," she said.
Strydom reached Everest's South Summit on Friday but decided to turn around and descend when she wasn't feeling well,
according to Coster's post. Several Sherpas and her husband struggled to carry her down the mountain, but she collapsed the next morning, Coster said.
Gropel, her husband, was evacuated to Kathmandu the next day by helicopter, said Coster, who was assembling a rescue team to retrieve Arnold's and Strydom's bodies.
Strydom's family was informed that the recovery team had retrieved her body and moved about 300 meters down the mountain but stopped due to bad weather and heavy snow. They hope to get down to Base Camp II tomorrow if weather clears and from there get a helicopter out.
Her mother, Maritha Strydom, told CNN that her daughter first became interested in climbing around 12-years ago. The first mountain she climbed was Mt. Warning near Brisbane.
"I was worried about her back then because I'm the most protective mother. After that, she went on to climb in New Zealand and the Andes in South America," she said.
"We were a very close-knit family. We took Maria all over the world since she was little. She has the strongest personality since she was born ... She was very talented and always wanted to be the best. She had more energy than anyone."
