There are no high IQ vegans.
Looks like Tesla and Einstein missed the "low IQ vegan" memo.
Nikola Tesla gradually moved toward vegetarianism over the course of his life and was vegetarian in his later years.
"It is certainly preferable to raise vegetables, and I think therefore that vegetarianism is a commendable departure from the established barbarous habit."
— Nikola Tesla
Tesla also wrote:
"To stop the ruthless slaughter of animals, which must be destructive to our morals, and to divert our energies and resources from animal husbandry, would be of immense benefit."
Albert Einstein became largely vegetarian near the end of his life due to health concerns and long-standing ethical reservations about eating animals.
"It is my view that a vegetarian manner of living, by its purely physical effect on the human temperament, would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind."
— Albert Einstein
He also wrote:
"I have always eaten animal flesh with a somewhat guilty conscience."
And they're hardly alone. Pythagoras, Leonardo da Vinci, Leo Tolstoy, George Bernard Shaw, Peter Singer, and many others have advocated vegetarian or vegan diets. Far too many to cover in a comment.
Personally, I don't think it takes much imagination to suppose that if Tesla or Einstein were alive today and saw the atrocities of modern factory farming, they would be even more critical of it—going vegan.
For my part, I avoid animal byproducts for a number of reasons. Health is one. The suffering involved in factory farming is another.
If I knew animals were genuinely being cared for and treated well, I wouldn't have the same objection to things like dairy. Dairy can be beneficial in moderation.
