In 2007 the National Institutes of Health launched the Human Microbiome Project (HMP), an interdisciplinary research initiative seeking to characterize the contribution of human gut microbiota to health and disease (Turnbaugh et al., 2007).
Subsequent findings have demonstrated compelling relationships between human gut microbiome composition and many leading causes of death worldwide including cardiovascular disease (Wang et al., 2011), diabetes (Larsen et al., 2010), and cancer (Ahn et al., 2013). Although the gut microbiome is suggested to exhibit exceptional plasticity (Gomez et al., 2019), a detailed understanding of the factors determining human microbiome assembly is lacking (Relman, 2015).

In 2004, the Guardian correctly predicted that the developed world’s overreliance on meat would be one of the most pressing issues for the survival of our species. “Britons need to say goodbye to burgers and meat,” we wrote, “because the overemphasis on meat in the western diet is one of the things that stifles sustainable food production.” Thankfully, the past decade and a half has seen an unprecedented interest in meat-free diets.
