Jimmy Kimmels’ Pedestrian Question today stems from recent studies proving that vegetarian and vegan men have much lower sperm counts than men who eat meat. This could be good news depending upon your plans for the future, ladies. If the grease slathered guy at all-you-can-eat ribs night is looking better to you, your biological clock may very well be in overdrive!
Some advocates of a vegetarian lifestyle claim that vegetarians are less aggressive than meat eaters, but Jimmy wonders if there may be more visible manifestations than a lowered sperm count and less aggression. In other words, perhaps we can distinguish vegetarians from their bacon-loving brethren just by looking at them? To test the theory, Jimmy’s crew went out onto Hollywood Boulevard and asked people “Are you a vegetarian?” While it seems like a ‘yes or no’ question, some of the men interviewed seem to be a bit fuzzy on the concept. Mr. Muscles is a case in point.
There is always an exception to any rule. Scientists – I present Mr. Snagglepuss: vegetarian and father of thirteen children! This man alone, blows your low sperm theory right out of the water. To be fair, Mr. Snagglepuss has a grasp of the importance of protein, and all of the varied sources in which to find it…But whatever he’s doing, it’s working.
Back in the studio, Jimmy plays the clips, to see if his audience can differentiate between the vegetarians and the meat eaters.
One thing is certain, bacon has been the downfall of many a determined vegetarian…Or dieter, and sometimes a dedicated religious person with a few dietary restrictions falls too. It is the devil’s own fragrant delicious snare!
