Couldn't find any article whatsoever about this subject in English. So I translate it for you.
It has appeared in a few newspapers in the Netherlands and Flanders and (as may be expected) there are a lot of reactions.
Perhaps in a few days it will be available to the rest of the world as well.
Carnivores are more selfish than vegetarians
People who like to eat meat are more selfish, less social and they behave like jerks. Meat brings out the worst in us.
This is the conclusion of three professors in Tilburg and Nijmegen, who did different researches to the psychological significance of meat and eating meat.
Carnivores feel themselves superior to others, say the professors; they think that vegetarians and flexitarians feel better and that they are less lonely.
In a study, a group of test persons were made to feel insecure. After that they were given the choice to eat either a steak, an omelette or fish. In the insecure group 60 percent chose the steak, while in the control group only 20 percent preferred that kind of meat.
