Surprising ways that a vegetarian diet is changing human genes

Scientific research has proven that some vegetarians can produce omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, because of gene mutation that happened over centuries.

Researchers reported that people with the gene mutation are from a lineage of ancestors whose diet consisted of mostly plants.

I can actually say that when I switched to a vegetarian diet I don't really feel any random pain in my body, I don't wake up constantly through the night needing to pee and I actually sleep better too. And miraculously I lost 2 lbs from yesterday and I didn't even work out. The random pain in my body is what really made me want to change my diet plus to lose weight. I'm 326 lbs. I shouldn't be like this.

Seeing meat farms, and chickens on the conveyor belts is absolutely horrifying to see. Those poor animals, makes me sad. I don’t enjoy eating, meat or vegetables. I have a really hard time eating meat, especially if it’s grizzly. And vegetables are not very good either. I feel stuck eating meat for the protein because I’m a terrible cook. I don’t have a very good imagination at making different dishes and meals.

Use retroviral reprogramming or simply eat algae oil where the seafood gets it from.

Oh brother. The fact that some humans are adapted to v diet is not new. Some humans are adapted to need less sleep, to eat whatever theywant and not gain weight, to smoke, drink alcohol and live to 100. These guys are simply stating the obvious, trying to make profound.

Doubt it. Eli genetics is still a burgeoning field to fully understand. As science in general is always finding out the story is much shorter than assumed. See Jack Hornets Ted talk of dinosaur morphing.

the freaking background is giving me illusion

People will go to great lengths to attempt to prove their lifestyle is superior. Meat is good, fish is good, and farming is ten time more inhumane and way worse for the environment than raising livestock or fish.
