I once read a book written by a psychiatrist who noted that a majority of his patients were liberals. One of the reasons he stated was diet. Vegetarian-ism and especially vegan-ism causes a decrease in the amount of tryptophan in the diet if you're not careful. The best sources of tryptophan are from animals. The body uses tryptophan to make serotonin, the "feel good" neurotransmitter. That's just one biochemical connection between liberalism and mental disease, of course there are behavioral reasons too.

In college I was trying to fit in with the hippie crowd and I started eating a vegetarian. I didn't do a very good job and after a while I was severely depressed. Medication was tried and it was useless. A hamburger perked up my mood rather quickly. Problem solved.

But as the article poses, the philosophies in liberalism expose one to more risk of mental illness.

Liberalism is a mental disorder. We need to feed vegans and vegetarians beef jerky at the polls.
