People’s likelihood of being vegetarian seems to be influenced by several gene variants, including some that are involved in fat metabolism. This hints that some people may find it easier to give up meat. An analysis of data in the UK Biobank has covered about 5300 people who said they were strict vegetarians and another 330,000 people who were meat-eaters. It found that three gene variants were more common in vegetarians. Two are involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol and other fatty molecules called glycolipids.

As usual, researchers are SHOCKEDSHOCKEDSHOCKED to find that gravity makes things fall down. They’re still starting with the Endarkenment Null Hypothesis that All Humans Are Passive Identical Grains Of Sand.
Most Null Hypotheses are gimmicks, like the hypothesis that the defendant is innocent. Sane people recognize a gimmick and use it as a tool. This hypothesis is a deep and unshakeable belief, enforced by 200 years of propaganda by the aristocrats who KNOW it’s fake.
ALL HUMAN TASTES, TENDENCIES AND TALENTS ARE PARTLY INNATE.
I figured out this specific inheritance in 1970, then verified it with some A/B experiments that shouldn’t have been necessary. In the hippie era I switched to vegy “for moral reasons”, and found quickly that I felt better. Soon I gave up the “moral” crap and stuck with the diet because my digestion simply can’t handle large doses of animal fat.
Later in my stupid neocon period in the 2000s, I switched back to carny because Repooflicans are required to hate taxes and love raw steak. Dangerously wrong. Again I felt bad, and ended up with high blood pressure that wouldn’t go away.
In 2010 I switched back to non-strict vegy, allowing soups made with beef or chicken stock. This seems to be the best compromise. The body needs some fat and cholesterol, but my gut won’t handle large amounts.

Self-calibration: Looking through my earlier rants about the Endarkenment lie, I was steadily attributing it to Lenin or Commies until 2018. That’s when I read some primary sources about the real Soviet system in practice, not theory.
It’s true that Marx and Lenin used the lie of “rights”, but the actual Soviet system recognized that People Are Different, and tried to employ everyone in an appropriate way to maximize productivity. That’s the real meaning of
From each according to his abilities, to each according to his WORK.
Our standard fake version changes the last word to Needs, which was NOT how Marx said it, and NOT how the Soviet constitution said it.
