But why?"},"content":{"rendered":"

The long-held belief of vegetarians being peace-loving, gentle, and kind-hearted idealists is just a myth and no longer holds true, says a new research.<\/p>\n

The findings of the study further suggest that vegetarians aren\u2019t just interested in protecting the planet\u2014they\u2019re also eager to take charge of it.<\/p>\n

Vegetarians possess a stronger yearning to wield power than their meat-eating counterparts. They also value social status more and are less inclined to hold dear virtues like kindness and conformity.<\/p>\n

The variance in the attitude of meat eaters and non-meat eaters was relatively small, but Professor John Nezlek of SWPS University in Warsaw, who led the study, stresses that the findings are important since they dispute the outdated 1970s stereotype of vegetarians being gentle, tofu-eating pacifists.<\/p>\n

Rather, compared to their meat-eating counterparts, they were more inclined to embrace values traditionally associated with masculinity.<\/p>\n
