Large study found three genes strongly linked to vegetarianism.

From Impossible Burger to “Meatless Mondays,” going meat-free is certainly in vogue. But a person’s genetic makeup plays a role in determining whether they can stick to a strict vegetarian diet, a new Northwestern Medicine study has found.

The findings open the door to further studies that could have important implications regarding dietary recommendations and the production of meat substitutes.
