Hey, great find! I was fascinated to learn that as a vegetarian, I may not have had as much choice as I thought, and that there may be genetic predispositions. Interesting, veeerrry interesting.

Edit: yeaaah, I didn’t get very far into that other article before I realized it wasn’t in any way about none in pork. It’s a James Kohl article about honeybees. It’s in the comments of the posted article though, if anyone wants to take a look: [Human pheromones and food odors: epigenetic influences on the socioaffective nature of evolved behaviors](http://www.socioaffectiveneuroscipsychol.net/index.php/snp/article/view/17338).

Looks like I’ll have to spray some [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) on the plate to buffer my BBQ ribs!

I’ve been a vegetarian on and off for the past decade (off phrase now). I actually like the taste of meat (except for pork. I always hated the taste of pork). Of all the vegetarians I met, I only met one or two who dislike the sensory aspects of it. Most of them were vegetarian for ethical reasons.
