Anyone here believe that meat eating dulls the mind and senses?

I believe this to be true, as I have experience it myself.

I also believe that among meat eating groupes are more violent or aggressive in there behaviors.

What do you all believe about this idea?

I've found no evidence that the act of eating meat has a physical effect on cognitive ability, nor that the act of eating it increases aggression. People who become vegetarian for ethical reasons are usually are more empathetic than average, not necessarily any more intelligent. It seems more likely that vegetarianism is a natural extension of a non-violent mindframe than it is that eating meat causes violence.

Well said, I agree with that.

I think eating unhealthy "dulls the mind" but I don't necessarily equate eating meat with being unhealthy.

I agree with you for the most part.

From a yogic view, meat-eating is violence in nature, even though you did not kill the animal yourself, as someone else still has kill the animal for you.

According to yoga science, meat increases the animal fire in the body, bringing the samskaras or tendencies of carnivorous animals to function within us. This promotes anger, lust and fear and other negative emotions. The flame created by a meat diet is impure and projects an emotional smoke that distorts the mind and the nervous system. Meat diet communicates the energy of distruction to the cells, which in turn promotes processes of disease and decay within them. It brings in a subtle energy of death into the auric field, reducing the flow of higher pranas into the body. The lives of the creatures we have eaten weigh down the astral body with their negative feeling and impressions.

Well said, I agree with that.

I agree that any unhealthy eating is dulling to the mind. A violence movie can dull the mind and emotions as well.
