this study is a cross sectional study of 15k people, but they only actually used something like 1.3k of those individuals in order to match up to the ~330 vegetarians to a person from a different group. (that is 13k discarded survey results...)

this type of cross sample matching (where the majority of the individuals polled are tossed away) is suspect, as is the time it took to conduct the survey and release the results (2007 is when the survey concluded, the study wasn't released until 2014).

imo, the writer of the blog post should extend a critical eye to academic studies (and see where they could be improved), instead of re-posting them as troll bait (and leaving out important scientific notions, like: we can't extrapolate from this study)
