ncbi.nlm.nih.govWhy wouldn't they compare to omnivores? Now people can argue that omnivores are nicer than veg and vegans

It's because there have been many other studies comparing the differences between vegans/vegetarians and omnivores, which are all cited in that paper. Here is one of the most recent ones for an example.

What brings you here as an omnivore?

I like reading and talking about food, farming and philosophy (and environmentalism but that doesn't work for my alliteration).

Cool. What is it that you disagree about with most vegans that you're not vegan yourself?

Thanks for the information!

This survey suggests that vegans have more open and compatible personality traits, are more universalistic, empathic, and ethically oriented, and have a slightly higher quality of life when compared to vegetarians.

Universalism is a religious, theological, and philosophical concept with universal application or applicability. Universalist doctrines consider all people in their formation.
In terms of religion, in a broad sense, universalism claims that religion is a universal human quality. This can be contrasted with non-universalist religions. Religion in this context is defined as "a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs."[1]

Okay but I don't believe this because I'm an absolute jerk vegan

I wouldn't sum it up that way. Being happier, more empathetic, & less neurotic doesn't mean 'nice'.

Lol. Whoever conducted this study is funny and I would like to know them. A+
Also pretty sure the difference in quality of life is directly related to gas, bloating and diarrhea in cheese gobblers. If that's not it, it should be. Healthy poos are the best unintended perk of being a vegan.
